Sat 23rd Dec 2023 | Kick Off: 17:30 GMT | Anfield Stadium, Liverpool

A festive treat for all soccer fans will be staged at Anfield on Saturday, as the top two in the Premier League will collide to determine which side will be Christmas number one this year.

Liverpool will have the home field advantage this weekend, but they will need to perform much better than they did in their previous fixture against Man United. Meanwhile, Arsenal will be looking to banish the ghosts from last season after watching their title hopes crumble after throwing away a 2-0 advantage at Anfield.

Liverpool Preview & Form

It has been a busy week for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, with the Reds competing on two fronts in the lead-up to Christmas. However, their attention will be back on the Premier League on Saturday, with the Reds knowing that a victory would see them leap-frog Arsenal at the top of the standings.

There will be questions to answer this weekend for the hosts, as their longest sequence of scoring in home matches was ended with a no-show in the final third against Man United in their previous fixture.

But, Liverpool haven’t failed to score in successive home matches in the Premier League since going three without a goal between February and March 2021. Their record in this fixture is also hard to ignore, as the Reds have scored at least once in each of their last 15 league meetings with Arsenal. Liverpool have also picked up seven wins from their last ten home matches against the Gunners in the Premier League.

Arsenal Preview & Form

Arsenal come into the final round of matches before Christmas as the current league leaders, but their advantage stands at just one point after suffering one defeat in their last three matches.

However, the Gunners have been strong defensively throughout the season to this point, boasting the joint-best defensive record alongside the Reds. Arsenal put a defeat against Aston Villa behind them last weekend by landing maximum points at the Emirates against Brighton.

This will be the seventh time that these two English giants have collided in the final round before Christmas. However, the Gunners have won on just one occasion, landing a 2-1 success in 2001-02. Their defensive record in this fixture is also a massive concern this weekend, as they have shipped a staggering 43 goals in their last 15 matches in the league against the Reds.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Betting Tips

Arsenal’s record away from home against Liverpool is an extremely concerning factor this weekend, as they are without a win at Anfield in over ten years.

However, the Gunners have looked sounder defensively this term than they have in many years, with the addition of Declan Rice adding some much-needed security. Therefore, we could see the Gunners making their claim for the league title this term at the same location as their dreams unraveled in 2022-23.

Pick: Arsenal
