On a Premier League weekend which will be dominated by tributes for the late Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, two of the biggest sides in the league face off. Liverpool make the trip down south to face Arsenal at the Emirates.
Liverpool’s recent record against Arsenal will fill them with confidence going into this one. The Reds have won three of the last four meetings and were last beaten by the Gunners in January 2016. It’s a game that historically produces a lot of goals with over 3.5 being scored in each of the last five games. Both teams have scored in four of those with Arsenal failing to score in the 4-0 loss at Anfield last term.
The hosts can go 3rd in the table with a win but they are certainly up against a side in top form. It seems as though Sokratis and Hector Bellerin will miss out through injury along with Laurent Koscielny, Sead Kolasinac, Nacho Monreal and Mohamed Elneny. Latest matches: Arsenal FC

Ahead of Man City’s match on Sunday, Liverpool can go top of the league with three points in Saturday’s late kick-off. They have two midfielders who are doubts for the game as Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita are both recovering from injuries. Latest matches: Liverpool FC

It’s a really tough game to call with Arsenal playing in front of their own fans and with Liverpool in great form. As often happens when the sides meet, both teams should score on Saturday evening and backing over 3.5 goals seems like a good bet. Although, the visitors have only conceded four in the league this term so the Gunners might struggle to net more than one.
