Liverpool aiming to continue title push at Arsenal
Liverpool visit Arsenal on Saturday hoping to keep up the pressure at the top of the Premier League table.
The Reds head into the weekend level on 26 points with Manchester City, but they will face a Gunners side who are in superb form at the moment.
Unai Emery’s side are unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions, with their 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace last weekend the only time they have failed to win during that run.
They head into this weekend’s game four points behind top spot and a win at the Emirates Stadium would fuel talk that they can mount a serious title challenge this season.
Arsenal are priced at 11/4 to win the game and plenty of punters will fancy taking advantage of those generous odds using this bet365 bonus code offer.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has almost a full squad to choose from, with only Naby Keita and Jordan Henderson doubtful for the game.
Emery has a few more issues to contend with, particularly in defence. Hector Bellerin is a big doubt after limping out of the Palace game with a muscular problem.
Sead Kolasinac and Nacho Monreal will be assessed after recent thigh problems, while Laurent Koscielny is still short of fitness after an extended spell on the sidelines.
The two sides fought out a six-goal thriller in their most recent meeting at the Emirates Stadium back in December. Liverpool looked to be on their way to victory when they opened up a 2-0 lead early in the second half.
However, three quickfire goals by Alexis Sanchez, Granit Xhaka and Mesut Ozil put the home side in front before Roberto Firmino levelled for the visitors to secure a 3-3 draw.
That result means the Reds have won just two of their last 18 away league games against Arsenal (D8, L8) and they will be eager to improve on that record this weekend.
The last five Premier League meetings between Arsenal and Liverpool have produced 27 goals, so odds of 8/1 for both teams to score in both halves looks an interesting wager.
Mohamed Salah bagged the opener against Cardiff City last weekend and he can be backed at 10/3 to repeat the trick at the Emirates.
With Man City facing what looks a home banker against Southampton on Sunday, Liverpool will be keen not to lose ground on their title rivals.
However, Arsenal look much-improved under Emery and backing the game to finish as a draw at odds of 14/5 could be the way to play this one.
