Arsenal vs Liverpool prediction: The stat which will concern the bookies

No Premier League fixture in history has seen more goals than this one - 166 to be precise so we could see both goalkeepers being very busy.

There is just something about when Liverpool meet Arsenal that means defences go down and the goalkeepers are busier than usual.

In this fixture, Liverpool have scored 94 of those goals which makes the Reds the most lethal team to play against Arsenal.

No team has scored more goals in the Premier League in this competition against the Gunners - which could be a concern for the bookies who have priced this game at 9/2 for over 2/5 goals.

Tips

  • Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to score first - 4/1
  • Score draw - 10/3

Score prediction

Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool (12/1) - this fixture has a history of goals galore. People still talk about that 4-4 at Anfield for a reason. Over 2.5 goals is a generous 9/2 which seems too generous to ignore personally.

Who are you backing for first goalscorer?

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (4/1) seems like the likely choice against a poor Liverpool defence. His pace, pressing and all-round game will be enough to frustrate

It would help matters if Arteta plays him down the middle, otherwise I will be going with Liverpool's Mo Salah (11/4).
