Football prediction Arsenal vs Liverpool: Gunners 'in labor'

The highlight of round 9 of the Premier League is the match between Arsenal and Liverpool. The match takes place at 11:30 p.m. today, October 27, at Emirates Stadium (London, England). Arsenal is playing at home but faces more difficulties than their opponents.

Comments, statistics Arsenal vs Liverpool

In round 8, Arsenal suffered a shocking 0-2 defeat to Bournemouth. Coach Mikel Arteta's team had their 16-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, including 13 wins, ended. Not only that, Arsenal also lost William Saliba due to a red card. The French midfielder had played every minute of Arsenal's last season until he was sent off.

The Gunners have failed to keep a clean sheet against Liverpool in their last 17 meetings. Arsenal still have options to replace Saliba, but Jakub Kiwior, Jurrien Timber and Ben White cannot bring the same sense of security as the French centre-back.

Arsenal exposed weaknesses without Saliba and Odegaard.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are still flying high under coach Arne Slot. The Dutch coach has helped Liverpool have the best start in the Premier League, leading the rankings with 21 points. They have lost only 1 match against Nottingham Forest.

By beating Leipzig in midweek, Liverpool have made it six consecutive away wins, the first time the Reds have achieved this in the club's 132-year history.

Liverpool have not beaten Arsenal in the Premier League since October 2022 (lost 2, drawn 2). However, with their current form, the away team has every reason to be confident in their ability to win 3 points.

Liverpool are still thriving in all competitions.

Force situation

Arsenal's two most notable absentees are William Saliba (suspended) and Martin Odegaard (injured).

Riccardo Calafiori is Arsenal's latest casualty. The Italian's injury is not serious, but it is enough to keep him out until Sunday.

Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber were left out of the midweek win over Shakhtar Donetsk due to muscle injuries. With any luck, both will be back in time.

Arsenal fans are looking forward to Saka's return.

Liverpool are definitely without three players, Alisson Becker, Diogo Jota and Harvey Elliot, due to injury. Striker Federico Chiesa is also doubtful.

Arsenal's expected lineup: Raya; Timber, White, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Merino, Partey, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.

Liverpool's expected lineup: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Nunez.

Score prediction

Arsenal 2-1 Liverpool.
