Match Summary
A defeat in the last Premier League (PL) round means Arsenal are again on the back foot for European qualification next season. Furthermore, they are underdogs here in a PL H2H they’ve not won in nine attempts (D4, L5). Seven of those nine clashes featured both teams scoring, and the run averaged 4.33 total goals per match.
At home, Arsenal are unbeaten in seven league matches (W5, D2), whilst keeping four clean sheets. Though Arsenal have been in front at half-time in close to half (47.06%) of their PL home matches so far, they went on to win just three (37.5%) of those particular home matches.
Held to a draw in the last round, Liverpool are yet to fail to win twice in a row this league season. Furthermore, the ‘Reds’ have not lost a single point from nine PL away matches to see them in front at half time, and recently got their first win in six competitive away matches.
Remarkably, Liverpool scored their first three goals in the above run in their last away match. A majority (57.14%) of the goals across those six matches arrived in the first half, and there’s been an average of 2.13 first-half goals scored across the last eight H2Hs.
Players to watch: Hunting his second PL golden boot, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (ARS) has three goals from his last four league matches. Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah scored twice in Liverpool’s last away PL match - three of his last four PL goals have arrived in the first half.
Stat attack: Arsenal have received five of the total six red cards produced by their PL matches so far.
Arsenal have lost just once after getting the first goal here (W6, D4, L1).
Liverpool have received at least as many yellow cards as their opponents in seven straight competitive away matches.
