Liverpool and Arsenal meet in a blockbuster clash at Anfield on Sunday, with both sides looking to make an early title statement in the Premier League.
The Gunners have drawn on their last four visits to Anfield, including back-to-back 2-2 thrillers last season, while both teams have scored in each of the last six meetings. Arsenal come into this one off the back of a 5-0 win over Leeds, while Liverpool have shown defensive vulnerability, conceding twice against both Bournemouth and Newcastle.
Prediction 1: Both Teams to Score @ 4/7 (1.57) – Bet365
Given the attacking quality on display and Liverpool’s recent defensive lapses, backing both teams to score looks a solid bet. It’s landed in the last six head-to-heads and the odds fairly reflect the probability.
Prediction 2: Draw @ 13/5 (3.60) – Bet365
Arsenal’s resilience at Anfield can’t be ignored. They’ve claimed four consecutive draws on this ground, and with both sides starting the season strongly, another stalemate looks like value.
Prediction 3: Riccardo Calafiori Anytime Scorer @ 9/1 (10.00) – Bet365
While the spotlight will be on the big-name strikers, Calafiori is proving a serious threat from set pieces. He already has a goal to his name this season and could profit from Arsenal’s delivery in a tight contest.
💡 Value Bet: The draw at 13/5 looks strong value given Arsenal’s record at Anfield and Liverpool’s early-season defensive issues. With both sides capable of cancelling each other out, a repeat of last year’s results feels likely.
Correct Score Prediction: 2-2 draw.
