We are off to a Premier League game featuring two of the biggest clubs in English football. Arteta’s energised Gunners take on Jurgen Klopp’s Reds, who are currently causing a lot of problems for every team that dares to face them. A 90-minute action between these two sides is what the Premier League is all about and as we wait for the kick-off, let’s look at a detailed preview and learn a thing or two about this game.

It’s Matchday 27 of 38

It’s time to play fixtures that have been postponed. While Tottenham got their reply against United at Old Trafford, it’s now time to see what Arsenal have in store. The Gunners, who lost the reverse fixture, cannot afford to drop points if they plan on bringing back European Football to the Emirates.  On the other hand, Liverpool cannot make any excuses, if they want to get their hands on the title and push City out of the competition. So there is a lot going on for this fixture because both sides cannot drop points. 

When and where will this fixture take place?

Arsenal and Liverpool will go against each other on the 17th of March at the Emirates Stadium. 

Can Gunners take three points from the mighty Reds?

Both Arsenal and Liverpool are currently having a good run in the Premier League. Arteta has seen through the rise of a new generation of Arsenal players with Bukayo Saka leading the line. At the same time, Liverpool seems to be in full control and have the right players to win trophies and continue fighting for it all. But for this fixture, both teams need to bring out something different. Arteta has a lot of work to do, mainly because they lost 4-nil in the reverse fixture. While he does have the players to get a win, it is quite hard to stop the attack of Liverpool.  Jurgen Klopp’s men run with purpose and are all around the pitch when it comes to scoring. Regardless of the contract talks between Liverpool and Mo Salah, he continues to be a professional and score goals for the club. The right-winging forward will be hard to stop and Arsenal’s defenders will have to come prepared. The 4-4-1-1 formation that Arteta previously used against Liverpool might be reliable as it gives four players at the back. However, if it has to work according to Arteta’s plans, he and his team will have to find ways to prevent Liverpool’s passing. They need to observe their attack and be on high alert every time one of Liverpool’s wingers start making those sensational runs.  On the other hand, Liverpool will also have to come into the game and look for ways to score goals. They will not be facing another Premier League side in Arsenal but a side that has changed and developed over the season. Winning games and taking three points seem to be the motto at the Emirates and Klopp will be aware of the same.  The 4-3-3 formation that he previously used can be deployed again. The ever-reliable Alison, covered by a defensive set-up that includes Virgil van Dijk will be vital for Liverpool. While Mo Salah is expected to continue his form, one will have to see how Klopp decides to play the rest.  Will he continue using Luis Diaz or opt for another forward? It is quite an important decision, especially considering that Arsenal understand the way Liverpool plays. It is more or less one of those decisions that you take during football betting because the odds can go either way.  Since there is a lot at stake, both teams cannot afford to lose. With Manchester United and Tottenham coming in close, Arsenal have a lot of work to do if they wish to be in the race for the top four. While predictions are heading towards a Liverpool win, we must always have some space open for surprises, especially in the Premier League. Both teams have quality in attack and the kind of pace to outrun defenders. Moreover, they also have two of the best goalkeepers who don’t usually allow centre forwards to score and constantly deny them. As a result, the game can sum up to be crucial and exciting and if you want to feel close to the action, you can do so by discovering the services offered by BritainBet. 

Arsenal vs Liverpool: Head-to-Head

Both Arsenal and Liverpool have played a total of 59 games in the Premier League with Liverpool leading the line with 24 wins. Out of all these games, only 19 have ended as draws and we hope not to see the same this Thursday. 
Teams  Arsenal  Liverpool
Total Wins 16 24
Home  10 16
Away  6 8
  As you can see, Liverpool are the leaders of the table while Arsenal have had their say a couple of times. Apart from that, Arteta’s men have failed to beat Liverpool in their last five games and are slowly moving towards building a poor record. A record that they don’t want to remember. So Arteta and company will have to take things forward and bring about a change. 

The Reverse Fixture 

Liverpool vs Arsenal (4-0) It's not an easy job to come in and face Liverpool at Anfield. But if you are going to, you better come with a plan unless you want to end up with score lines that say 4-nil. Despite moving through a phase of development, Arsenal failed to score a single goal and helped Liverpool keep a clean sheet at Anfield.  Goals from Mane, Jota, Salah and Minamino were all that was needed to end the game. Trent Alexander-Arnold, arguably one of the best right-backs in the world right now, was the star of the show for providing two assists and being all around the place.
