LIVERPOOL VS ARSENAL PREDICTIONS AND LATEST BETTING TIPS PART ONE
We're just a few hours away from this widely-anticipated clash and you can expect that Liverpool vs Arsenal is going to be the fixture of the weekend- or at least that's how it's being billed. I think this is a wide-open affair and that the first goal is incredibly important.
Liverpool are considered the favourites for this one, but not by a massive margin or anything like that. Steven Gerrard's massive performance in mid-week could factor into the equation here with the England captain looking like he's capable of turning nothing into something at the drop of a hat.
You can back Liverpool at a 6/4 price to win while Arsenal are priced at 15/8 while the draw can be backed at a 9/4.
It doesn't look like the bookies favour a huge amount of goals in this one, but I think that an early strike would blow things wide open- especially if Arsenal score it.
Liverpool are odds-on to score first with a 5/6 price that puts them ahead of Arsenal, who can be backed at 5/4. No goals at all in the match pays out at 7/1.
The over/under on the time of the first goal is set at 33:00 with each selection paying out at 5/6.
There is a very interesting market here for those who might favour a late goal. If you think a team will score in the last 18 minutes of regular time, you can get an over/under on a goal before or after 71:59.
One important thing to remember is that the defence of either side isn't really much to write home about so I expect both teams to score unless one of them plays a truly torrid match. Liverpool are listed at 7/4 to record a clean sheet while Arsenal are listed at 9/4.
The over/under on goals is set at 2.5 with the under heavily favoured at 13/20 while the over is trading at a 6/5 price.
