The gap
Liverpool sit on twelve points from seven played, level with sixth-placed Brentford on points but ahead on goal difference. A win would lift them to fifteen points from eight; a draw would leave them on thirteen. Arsenal, meanwhile, have eighteen points from the same number of matches, three behind Manchester City at the top. Victory would take them to twenty-one points and maintain pressure on the leaders, while defeat would leave them on eighteen from eight.
The market-implied probabilities favour the visitors at 44.5 per cent, with Liverpool at 29.2 per cent and the draw at 26.3 per cent. That reflects the gap in the table and Arsenal's recent form, which includes a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest, Madueke's late show saves Arsenal at Forest, following a 3-0 victory and a 2-1 win in the matches before that. Liverpool's sequence shows four wins from five as well, though the one defeat was heavy: 3-0.
Recent meetings
The last five head-to-head meetings have produced twelve goals in total. The most recent, in January, finished 0-0. Before that Liverpool won 1-0, then two matches ended 2-2, and Liverpool won 2-1 in the oldest fixture on record. Three of the five were drawn, and Liverpool won the other two, though none of those results carry a note of where they were played or which competition they belonged to, so the pattern says less than the raw numbers might suggest.
