Clash for the Top Spot: Arsenal vs. Liverpool
Liverpool faces a significant challenge to maintain their lead in the English Premier League when they visits Arsenal on Sunday for a top matchup in the ninth round of fixtures.
Liverpool which are looking to reclaim the league title that has eluded them for four seasons, currently sits at the top of the Premier League table with 21 points, just one point ahead of defending champions Manchester City.
Under the management of Dutch coach Arne Slot, the Reds are riding high after clinching their eighth consecutive victory in all competitions, including a narrow 1-0 win over RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League. This impressive run has seen Liverpool win all three of their recent matches in the continental competition.
Liverpool are looking to end a frustrating winless streak against Arsenal in the league. Their last victory over the Gunners was on March 16, 2022, when they secured a 2-0 win at the Emirates.
All eyes will be on Mohamed Salah, who has a remarkable record against Arsenal. The Egyptian winger has scored 10 goals and provided 2 assists in 16 matches against the London club while playing for various teams.
On the flip side, Arsenal aims to bounce back after a surprising 0-2 loss to Bournemouth in their last league outing.
Despite this setback, the Gunners have performed well in recent matchups against Liverpool, securing two wins and two draws in their last four encounters. Their most recent clash resulted in a convincing 3-1 victory for Arsenal in February.
Arsenal, dreaming of reclaiming the Premier League title they last won in the 2003-2004 season, holds an advantage in their 100 league meetings with Liverpool in London, boasting 43 wins compared to 33 draws and 24 losses.
This match will mark the 201st encounter between the two clubs in league history, with Liverpool winning 79 times, Arsenal securing 67 victories, and 54 matches ending in a draw. Overall, the two teams have faced each other 242 times across all competitions, with Liverpool achieving 95 wins, Arsenal 83, and 64 matches ending in a draw.
Here are some key indicators that might help you predict the correct score and win with Betway:
- Arsenal has emerged victorious in their last two home league matches against Liverpool, but the Reds have scored in their last 17 matches against the Gunners since a goalless draw in August 2015.
- If Liverpool wins against Arsenal, it will be their second-best start ever in the Premier League after nine matches (24 points – currently 21), after collecting 25 points in the 2019-2020 season, when they last won the title.
- Liverpool has conceded fewer goals than any other team in the Premier League this season (3), which is the fewest goals they have conceded after eight matches in the club’s history (Three goals also in the 1978-1979 and 2018-2019 seasons).
- Gabriel Martinelli has been involved in more goals against Liverpool in all competitions than against any other team (7 contributions – 5 goals and 2 assists).
- Kai Havertz has scored in his last five league matches at the Emirates Stadium. The only Arsenal player to score in more consecutive home matches in the competition is Thierry Henry (6 goals from March to August 2000 and 7 goals from May to October 2004).
- Arsenal has received the most red cards in the Premier League this season (three cards in eight matches) and will be without suspended defender William Saliba against Liverpool. Saliba is the player who played every minute in the league with the ‘Gunners’ since the beginning of last season before receiving a red card against Bournemouth last week.
