Arsenal have won nine of their last ten Premier League games and they have only lost once at home in the league this season. That defeat came against Manchester United back in November and since then they have won eight league matches in a row at the Emirates Stadium. A win here would see the Gunners move into second position, ahead of Manchester City who are not in action until Monday night, but they still have plenty of ground to make up on league leaders Chelsea who are at home to Stoke City later in the day.

Liverpool have also been in good form but they were beaten 2-1 at home by Manchester United in their most recent match. They are six points worse off than Arsenal and five behind Manchester United who are in fourth position in the standings. Liverpool have won five and drawn one of their last six away fixtures in the league and they didn’t concede a goal in any of those matches.

Summary:

This should be a fantastic game with both teams going all out for the win. Defeat for Liverpool would be a major blow to their hopes of finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League next season but Arsenal are so strong right now that we think a home win is on the cards.
