Command Analysis
Liverpool
Current form
Liverpool have suffered only one defeat in the Premier League since the start of the season. In the sixth round at Anfield, Manchester City failed to score (0-3), with only three goals conceded after being eliminated. After that setback, the Merseysiders fully rehabilitated themselves, giving out a five-match winless streak. The Premier League had victories over Brentford on the road with a score of 2:1 and over Brighton at home (2:0). In the standings, Andoni Iraola's team is in fourth place after eight rounds with 15 points, and the gap from the first line is six points.
Apart from recent successes in the Premier League, Liverpool is showing itself confidently in other tournaments. In the Champions League, the Reds have not lost a single point in three rounds and are in the third position in the leadership group. In the League Cup last week, Chelsea managed to get through in a penalty shootout and qualify for the quarterfinals.
Despite all the successes, the defensive game raises many questions. Taking into account all the tournaments, the Merseysiders scored only once in the previous six matches. Moreover, in this segment we conceded three goals each from Manchester City, LASK and Villarreal. These shortcomings can be compensated for by attacking, where Alexander Isak stands out, who has scored six goals in the last six Premier League matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bradley, Frimpong, Leonie and Eketike will not play due to injuries. Soboslai and Munoz are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In four of the last five matches, Liverpool have exchanged goals with their rivals.
In seven consecutive matches, Liverpool players fouled more often than their opponents.
Liverpool players have scored more shots on goal than their opponents in seven of the previous eight matches.
Arsenal today has the opportunity to become the sole leader of the Premier League. Manchester City lost their match in the ninth round, and the townspeople and the Gunners had an equal number of points after eight rounds. Undoubtedly, this moment will add motivation to the players.
Arsenal's only defeat since the start of the season in the Premier League was against Brighton on the road with a score of 0:3. Interestingly, it was the Seagulls who beat Manchester City in the ninth round, thereby giving the Londoners a chance to become the sole leader. In the last round, Mikel Arteta's team confidently beat Everton at home (2:0).
Last week, Arsenal sensationally crashed out of the League Cup in the 1/8 finals, losing in a penalty shootout to lowly Fleetwood. It should be noted that not only the reserves were involved in that match, but also the players of the main squad. For example, Havertz and Diekeres played the whole match. In the Champions League, the Gunners scored seven points in three rounds, are in seventh place, and lost points only on the road with Bayern (2-2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Saka and Saliba are on the injured list. Douman will serve his suspension. The entry of Rice, Madueke, Calafiori and Tsolis into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In three of Arsenal's last five matches, a draw was recorded in the first half.
There was no goal exchange in three of the Gunners' previous five matches.
More than three offsides have not been recorded in four of the last six matches of the Londoners.
Approximate line–up: Raya - White, Konsa, Gabriel, Lewis–Skelly – Subimendi, Bruno Guimaraes - Edegor, Havertz, Eze – Diekeres.
Arsenal failed to beat Liverpool in their last five face-to-face meetings, and on the eve they sensationally crashed out of the League Cup, losing to modest Fleetwood. Nevertheless, in the line of bookmakers, it is the Londoners who act as the favorite, which is worth agreeing with.
Liverpool, despite recent successes and Isak's excellent form, had some problems winning, it was constantly possible to see unnecessary missed goals, they managed to play only once in the last six matches. The gunners are very effective in attack, they know how to take advantage of the mistakes of their opponents and play accurately according to the score. Plus, Arsenal has the opportunity to become the sole leader today, as Manchester City lost their match in this round. Obviously, this moment will add motivation to the players. It should also be noted that since the beginning of the season in the Premier League, the Merseysiders have won only one victory, although they played four matches.
Our betting tip is that Arsenal will win with an Asian handicap (0) for a coefficient of 1.73
The opponents have a powerful stellar offensive line, which is largely due to the fact that there is an expectation of an abundance of goals scored in the bookmaker's line. Meanwhile, in two head-to-head matches in the Premier League last season, only one goal was scored in total. Arsenal has been distinguished throughout the season by a reliable defensive game, conceded only five goals in the Premier League and knows how to play according to the score, Arteta's team does not force events on the field. We don't expect more than two goals scored in a match.
The second bet is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.00
Betting on corners
When choosing the corner rate, we start from the trend among the guests. In three of the last four matches involving Arsenal, more than ten innings were played from the corner flag, which we are waiting for today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 10.5 with a coefficient of 2.30
