Arsenal vs Liverpool

It is a battle between the leaders and the champions as Arsenal welcome Liverpool to Emirates Stadium for an English Premier League blockbuster fixture.

The Gunners are looking to tighten their grip at the top of the table and come into this clash with an impressive home record. They should have the upper hand over the Reds, who continue to struggle with inconsistency.

Arsenal News

Having been pipped to the title in the last three seasons, Arsenal now appear poised to go one better this time around. Mikel Arteta's team are six points clear at the top of the table after claiming a 3-2 victory at Bournemouth in their previous Premier League fixture.

That victory at Bournemouth means Arsenal have now won their last five Premier League matches. The Gunners are also unbeaten at home across all competitions this season.

Goals have not been a problem for Arsenal, who have scored in every single home game this season. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five Premier League matches at the Emirates, with all four fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Liverpool News

Liverpool beat Arsenal to the title last season but have struggled to hit those heights this term. Arne Slot's team are currently fourth in the table, 14 points behind the leaders.

The Reds have drawn their last two matches and played out a 2-2 scoreline at Fulham in their previous Premier League fixture. They have also been inconsistent on their travels, with just four wins in their last 10 away matches across all competitions.

A shaky backline has been one of the problems for Liverpool, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last 10 away matches. However, they have scored in eight of the 10 matches, while seven of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Liverpool have five wins and as many draws, while Arsenal have been victorious just twice in the last 12 matches. The Reds edged out a 1-0 home victory in the reverse fixture back in August.

Verdict

Arsenal v Liverpool

Liverpool may have a good record in this fixture, but Arsenal are unbeaten in three of the last four home meetings. The Gunners have also looked imperious this season and should get the better of the visitors, who remain out of sorts at the moment.

Both teams have scored in three of the last four meetings at the Emirates, with all three fixtures also producing over 2.5 goals. Thursday's clash is expected to be an open contest, and a similar outcome is on the cards.
