The top two candidates for the Premier League championship are set to square off this weekend at the Emirates Stadium as the competition nears its culmination.
Arsenal, who are currently in third place in the league, will play Liverpool, the current leaders, with a five-point difference.
Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are just behind the Gunners, who are level on points with Manchester City. Due to how close the race is, Sunday’s game might very well change the outcome.
Arsenal’s championship bid seemed to be in jeopardy early in the season, as they won just one of five league games while losing three of them.
But in 2024, the club was able to get back on track and has been playing well lately. They crushed Crystal Palace 5-0 before winning their most recent game, 2-1 against Nottingham Forest.
With eight victories, two ties, and one defeat from their 11 home league games this season, Arsenal has been very dominant at the Emirates.
They have won six of their past seven league games at the Emirates, scoring eighteen goals and maintaining four clean sheets. Their goal is to exploit Liverpool’s home advantage and cause them frustration.
Liverpool, on the other hand, is doing really well right now. In all competitions, they have won seven of their past eight games and have only lost once in their previous 18 meetings.
They have won 10 of their past 5 games in the Premier League, and they have not lost any of their previous 15.
Liverpool have been playing really well lately, and they should score a lot of goals this weekend. They have scored precisely four goals in each of their past three league games.
Liverpool beat Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates last month, eliminating them from the FA Cup. In their past 12 matches with Liverpool in all competitions, Arsenal have only prevailed once.
Regarding injuries, Takehiro Tomiyasu, an Arsenal defender, is now with Japan at the Asian Cup, while Jurrien Timber is still out with a serious knee injury.
Wataru Endo of Liverpool is also not playing, while injured players Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, Kostas Tsimikas, and Mohamed Salah are all not playing.
It’s reasonable to assume that we can anticipate a thrilling thriller at the Emirates based on their previous performances. In actuality, there have been more than 1.5 goals scored in 20 of the last 22 encounters between Arsenal and Liverpool. With a combined total of over 4.5 goals scored by the two teams, Bana Sports’ forecasting engine predicts Liverpool to win.
