Liverpool are in fine fettle heading into a crunch clash with reigning Premier League champions Arsenal this weekend.

A penalty shootout victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup stretched their unbeaten run to five since being thumped by Manchester City at Anfield shortly after the international break.
asserted
victory → stretch → break
They’ve picked up their first home win in the Premier League under Andoni Iraola in that sequence, beating in-form Brighton 2-0 at Anfield last Sunday.
asserted
They → pick → Anfield
The mood in the Arsenal camp would have been subdued after being knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two Fleetwood Town in midweek.
asserted
mood → subdue → midweek
Still, the Gunners sit above Liverpool in the Premier League table, holding a six-point advantage over the fourth-placed Reds.
asserted
Gunners → sit → Reds
That being said, much is being made of the Gunners’ attacking struggles, while they have not looked as impervious as last season at the back.

they → say → back
Liverpool vs Arsenal odds
Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction 1: Under 2.5 goals
While Liverpool swapped managers over the summer, this fixture produced just one goal last season, with a 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium and a 1-0 win for Liverpool at Anfield.
asserted
fixture → swap → Anfield
Liverpool’s home games this season have featured just nine goals - with the Reds scoring four of those.
asserted

After a shock defeat in midweek, Arsenal could focus on being defensively strong once more.
uncertain

Liverpool vs Arsenal Tip: Under 2.5 goals - 1/1 (Bet365)
Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction 2: Ezri Konsa 3+ foul involvements
A more niche market on football betting sites, foul involvements combine the fouls committed and fouls won by a player.
asserted
involvements → combine → player
Ezri Konsa has been fouled twice in his last two Premier League appearances, and it feels likely to happen again thanks to Liverpool’s high press.
asserted
it → foul → press
He hasn’t committed a foul in those past two games, but with Liverpool’s pace in behind and chances in transition, Konsa could easily draw a whistle from the referee.
uncertain
Konsa → commit → referee
Similarly, the market for Konsa to be fouled twice has been priced at 7/5 by Betfair.
asserted
Konsa → foul → Betfair
Liverpool vs Arsenal Tip: Ezri Konsa 3+ foul involvements - 17/10 (Sky Bet)
Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction 3: Alexander Isak 1+ shot on target
Sometimes it is best to keep it simple.
asserted
it → keep → it
Alexander Isak has recorded at least one shot on target in all eight of his Premier League appearances this season, and is currently on a hot streak of scoring in three consecutive league games.
asserted
Isak → record → games
The best price in the anytime goalscorer market on betting apps for Isak to get on the scoresheet is 21/10 at both Coral and Ladbrokes, while Bet365 are offering odds of 13/2 for Isak to grab the game’s first goal.
However, Arsenal have kept a clean sheet in three of their four away league matches this season, so the preference goes to Isak having a shot on target instead.
asserted
Isak → get → target
Liverpool vs Arsenal Tip: Alexander Isak 1+ shot on target - 8/13 (Bet365)
