Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction, odds, betting tips

The Premier League pits together the current top two sides in England this weekend, as Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield just prior to the Christmas break.

One of the biggest fixtures of the season, this match will not only decide which side will top the table over the festive period but could also go a long way to deciding which team will win the Premier League title.

Arsenal enter this clash as the leader of the two in terms of position in the standings, a point ahead of their old rivals. The Gunners routinely beat Brighton 2-0 last time out, and will be looking to change their recent poor fortune at this ground having not won here in the league since September 2012.

But Liverpool are made of stern stuff and after a summer of change in terms of on-field personnel, they’re looking to win their second Premier League title this time around. So far this season, the Reds have lost just one of their 17 league matches though they did fail to make their chances pay as they were held 0-0 by fierce rivals Manchester United last time out in this competition.

Score prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal
In this clash, we’re giving Liverpool the slight edge, mostly based on the fact that this match is taking place at Anfield. At this venue, Jurgen Klopp’s side are currently unbeaten in 49 of their last 50 home league outings (W38, D11) which leaves them well-placed for even more success here.

Pick: Over 2.5 goals scored

Liverpool have looked imperious on home soil this season, scoring 21 times across eight Premier League matches at this venue which leaves them in a good position to add to that tally here. The Reds have also only conceded five times in the process but with Arsenal arriving in confident fashion, that could change here.

As for Arsenal, they haven’t scored too many on the road in the league this season — 13 goals in eight matches — but with the attacking quality that manager Mikel Arteta has at his disposal, they should find the back of the net this weekend.

They have struggled at Anfield of late though, failing to win any of their last ten league visits to this ground and in that time, the visitors have conceded 34 times which points to more goals being let in here by the Gunners.

In this top-of-the-table clash, two of the best performers this season will face off as Liverpool’s Mo Salah and Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka look to one up each other.

Halftime/Full-time result – West Ham/ West Ham

West Ham to win by one goal

Manchester United have only won once in their last five games in all competitions, that 2-1 win against Chelsea, which seems like it was ages ago.

The Red Devils secured a point at Anfield last weekend to register their first draw of the campaign.

Some would argue that it was a great result for a team that’s been struggling recently with plenty of personnel missing.

Unhappy hunting in London

Of the last 12 Premier League games in London, Manchester United have won just two, both against Fulham.

The Red Devils have a poor record at West Ham in recent times, losing in three of their last six visits (D1, W2), both victories coming under the watch of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

West Ham are in a good patch of form, losing one in their last six league games, an anomaly 5-0 loss to Fulham a fortnight ago.

Even though they were convincingly beaten by Liverpool in the League Cup at Anfield on Wednesday night, they will want to dispatch those memories by getting over United.

The Hammers bagged three points the last time they hosted Man Utd and they can leapfrog the visitors on the table with a win on Saturday afternoon.

He’s found the net in two of his last three league games and has a total of 10 goals this season, just four behind Golden Boot frontrunner, Erling Haaland.

His goals account for 34% of West Ham’s total this term and having scored against the likes of Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Tottenham, you wouldn’t bet against him finding the net on Saturday.

West Ham United vs Manchester United Betting Tip 2: Anytime goalscorer – Jarrod Bowen

West Ham to edge it;
Manchester United have gone three league games in December without scoring, the most in a single month since January 2020 and they’ve drawn a blank in 11 games this calendar year.

Erik ten Hag’s troops average a goal per game on the road, which may not be enough to turn over West Ham.

Meanwhile, David Moyes’ men scored 15 times at the London Stadium, just three short of United’s entire tally this season.

Having won the corresponding fixture 1-0 in May this year, West Ham are in prime position to repeat that feat.
