Liverpool stand at the 8th position in Premier League with 12 points less than their opponent Arsenal, so in the case of win they can decrease the difference. Title is far away in this moment, but the main goal for Reds this season is to finish in the top 4 and play in the UEFA Champions League next season. Their recent performance is not impressive, only two wins in the last six Premier League matches, but they are playing very good big games against teams from the top. Liverpool have already beat Manchester City, Chelsea and Leicester City this season. In the first half of the season Liverpool took one point at Emirates against Arsenal and they hope that can take all three tonight upfront their supporters.
Arsenal stand at the top of the table and they are one of the main candidates for the title this season. They are in the great form with 7 wins in their last 8 matches in all competitions, but the most of the matches they played at home. On away ground, team from London is not very impressive. In the last four away matches, Arsenal have managed to win only one game and it was the win over Aston Villa, the worst team in league and one of the main candidates for the relegation. Despite that fact, visitors have very strong squad and they will for sure do their best to take all three points. Arsene Wenger rested some players in the victory against Sunderland in FA Cup, so they are very fresh for this game.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Prediction
In the matches like these everything is possible, but I’ll give an advantage to home side. They are playing very good at Anfield and could be very dangerous for Wenger’s side. Liverpool lost only once in their last 12 home matches in all competitions. Double chance on home side looks like a good betting option.
