Arsenal vs Liverpool Betting Tips

Arsenal are hosting Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in London on the 4th of April 2021 Sunday at 00:30 IST. Both teams are not even in the fray for any championship qualification at the moment given they don’t win their respective championships and a win here for either team will help them move closer to that part of the points table where qualification happens. 

Arsenal Form & Team News

Arsenal under Arteta this season have shown shades of how a game should be closed out and at the same time, they have shown how to lose momentum in crunch moments as well. They have been annoyingly inconsistent in this season. They have a total of 42 points from 29 games with 12 wins and six draws. They have lost 11 games in the process. At home, they have a win percentage of less than 50 in the 14 games played so far. In the last eight games across competitions though they have shown incredible resolve mustering five wins and a couple of draws too in the process. Arsenal are in the path of a never-ending major revamp as a squad after the Wenger era came to a close. They would desperately want to close the season out within the top half of the points table rather than where they are at the moment.

Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka are the two injured players in the Arsenal team presently. Arteta would want his troops to show the grit they displayed against West Ham in the last match on a consistent basis and barring any injuries he would probably persist with the same team. Frenchman Alexandre Lacazette has been quite phenomenal this season for the Gunners netting as many as 11 goals. Aubameyang is a close second on this list with nine goals to his name. The Brazilian Willian has assisted for five goals which give him the top position in the highest assists charts. Consistency is the key and once the Gunners find that, they would be a very hard team to beat along the way. 

Liverpool Form & Team News

There is a very bad history at least in the Premier League of the titleholders not being able to replicate the performance in the succeeding season (barring Manchester City) and this has been proved right again by the Reds who are finding themselves in the seventh position. They have secured a total of 46 points from 29 games. They have won 13 games and lost nine in the process. They have lost more than they have won in the last ten matches which underlines the fact they have succumbed to the pressure this season. Their away record is comparatively better having won six games and drawing five in the 14 games played so far. Klopp’s men have to stop the slide quickly and revamp their strategy in order to be in reckoning rather than fade into the dark from the position they were in last season and the seasons before that. 

Divock Origi, Robert Firmino, Caoimhin Kelleher, Jordan Henderson, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez, and Virgil Van Dijk completes the long list of injuries of Liverpool going into the next game against Arsenal on Sunday. The injuries to key players this season has been one of the reasons Liverpool have failed to rise. Mohamad Salah has been remarkable as usual leading the goal-scoring chart with 17 goals to his name while the charismatic Mane has been below standards while the injured Firmino is leading the assists chart with five-goal contributions thus far. Robertson has the exact same number of assists closely following Firmino. The Reds really have to step up their game big time.
