Liverpool v Arsenal Betting: Duo set to light up Anfield in end-to-end clash

After booking their place in the Champions League group stages with victory over Hoffenheim, Liverpool will be hoping to give their Premier League campaign a major boost when Arsenal visit Anfield on Sunday.

Jurgen Klopp’s men completed the double over this opposition last season and are 23/20 (2.15) favourites with dabblebet to make it three wins in a row for the first time since 1998.

Meanwhile, the Gunners fell to a shock 1-0 defeat at Stoke in their previous clash, but are on offer at 23/10 (3.10) to bounce back with victory here.

Two of the last three encounters between the sides on Merseyside have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them cancelling each other out once again here.

Although the hosts’ attacking play was at times breath-taking as they raced into a three-goal lead on Wednesday, it is telling that there a slight sense of nervousness among the home crowd when Marc Uth grabbed a goal back to make it 3-1 on the night an 5-2 on aggregate.

For most teams, such a commanding lead would all but spell the end of the fixture as a spectacle, but the Reds’ propensity for giving away cheap goals meant supporters could not sit too comfortably.

This will be all too familiar to fans of Arsene Wenger’s team, who were twice forced to come from behind in their 4-3 victory over Leicester on the first day of the league season, despite taking the lead within the opening two minutes.

Considering their shared combination of attacking prowess with defensive fragility, it is no surprise that this pair have provided some of the most memorable encounters of recent Premier League seasons.

With 17 goals scored in their last three meetings alone, odds of 11/8 (2.38) are well worth backing on Liverpool and Arsenal providing at least four when they come face-to-face on Sunday.
