Arsenal vs Liverpool Preview
Arsenal have failed to score in any of their last five meetings with Liverpool in all competitions, since an Alexandre Lacazette strike at Anfield in September 2020. Only against the Reds themselves have the Gunners had a longer run without a goal in their history (six games between 1997 and 2000).
Arsenal come into this match currently on a five-match winning run in the Premier League, and Liverpool do so having won each of their last eight in the competition; it’s only the third time in the competition’s history that two sides will face each other while both are on 5-plus game-winning runs, and the first since a 4-4 draw between Arsenal and Liverpool at Anfield in April 2009.
Liverpool have won their last eight Premier League games, scoring 21 goals and conceding just two in this run. Away from home, the Reds have only failed to win five of their 14 Premier League games this season (D3 L2), though four of those came against London clubs.
Diogo Jota has scored five goals in his last four appearances against Arsenal in all competitions, netting a brace on each of his last two visits to the Emirates. Indeed, only Jamie Vardy (five) has netted more goals at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium as a visitor than the Portuguese.
Salah has been directly involved in 30 goals in 26 games for Liverpool in the Premier League this season. This is the second time he has scored 20-plus goals and provided 10+ assists in a Premier League campaign (also in 2017-18), while only Thierry Henry also achieved this in multiple seasons in the competition (in 2002-03 and 2004-05).
Arsenal vs Liverpool Tips and Predictions
