Liverpool vs Arsenal: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday, November 1 (11:30 AM ET / 10:30 AM CT / 8:30 AM PT).

Liverpool’s team news is shaped by absence: out are Hugo Ekitike (calf/shin/heel), Giovanni Leoni (knee), Conor Bradley (knee), Jeremie Frimpong (thigh) and Dominik Szoboszlai (thigh), with Víctor Muñoz a doubt on a knee complaint. That leaves Alexander Isak to lead the line at Anfield, with Cody Gakpo and Florian Wirtz expected to supply the creativity behind him. Arsenal, meanwhile, are without Bukayo Saka (thigh), William Saliba (lower back) and Christos Tzolis (thigh), so Kai Havertz looks set to spearhead the attack with Bruno Guimarães, Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel providing support from deeper.

This is a tight one on paper. Liverpool have taken 15 points from 8 games this season, with 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss and a +3 goal difference, while Arsenal have been the division’s most consistent side, winning 7 of 8 outings for 21 points and a +8 goal difference. Anfield has not been kind to a Liverpool attack missing key creative pieces lately, and with Szoboszlai sidelined, expect a cagey, low-scoring contest where one moment of Arsenal quality settles it.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Prediction

Strip away the noise and this looks like a game of fine margins. Liverpool sit on 15 points from 8 games, missing Ekitike, Leoni, Bradley, Frimpong and Szoboszlai, while Arsenal arrive on 21 points from 8 games despite being without Saka, Saliba and Tzolis. Expect Arsenal’s depth to tell in a scrappy, low-scoring Anfield afternoon, with Kai Havertz or another midfield runner nicking the only goal. Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal.
