THE LOWDOWN
LIVERPOOL
- It has not been a good two weeks for Liverpool, as not only have they had to stew on a 3-2 defeat at the hands of West Ham just before the international break, they have also been dealt with a large number of knocks within their squad, which makes Jurgen Klopp’s team selection difficult for the visit of Arsenal
- Whilst Roberto Firmino, Curtis Jones, James Milner, Naby Keita and Harvey Elliott are definitely out, the Reds could also be missing the likes of captain Jordan Henderson and left-back Andy Robertson, although key attacker Sadio Mane is likely to be fit despite a recent rib injury.
ARSENAL
- Arsenal travel to Anfield riding the crest of a wave having accumulated 20 points from the last 24 available to them in an unbeaten run of eight Premier League games and ten in all competitions.
- With central midfielder Thomas Partey a big doubt through injury, the likelihood is that Mikel Arteta will name an unchanged side from the one that beat Watford last time out, although Martin Odegaard and Nicolas Pepe will both be hoping for an opportunity.

THE PREDICTION
A Premier League fixture away at Liverpool normally spells misery for Arsenal, however the Gunners have every right to be more optimistic this time round when taking into account their recent excellent form, not to mention Liverpool’s terrible defensive display against West Ham last time out. However, the Reds are nothing if not resilient as you would expect under Klopp and a fierce response is likely in front of a partisan home crowd. With Liverpool’s front three expected to be busy as you would expect at home and Arsenal full of confidence themselves going forward against the injury-plagued hosts, backing over 2.5 goals scored has to be favoured, especially when considering that ten of the last 11 Premier League fixtures between these two sides have seen that very same outcome.
Tip: OVER 2.5 GOALS
