LIVERPOOL VS ARSENAL PREDICTIONS AND LATEST BETTING TIPS PART TWO
If the first goal of the match came from a free kick or a set-piece I wouldn't be surprised at all. The first goal being scored from a shot is odds-on at 4/7 while a header is trading at 4/1. A penalty to be the first goal is priced at 12/1 (I think that's more likely than you might think) while a free kick is also trading at 12/1. An own goal being the opening strike is listed at 28/1.
A penalty to be awarded at any point is priced at 9/4 while a red card to be shown is available at 11/4.
If you think either side is going to be able to come from behind and win the match, you'll get 8/1 on Liverpool and 9/1 on Arsenal.
Fernando Torres is the favourite to score here, but it's significant that he's not trading at an odds-on price. He's listed at 7/2 to score first or last while Liverpool's David Ngog is trading at 6/4 anytime.
Marouane Chamakh's odds to score against Liverpool are priced at 15/8 and that puts him alongside Robin Van Persie.
Dirk Kuyt and Steven Gerrard are both listed at a 2/1 price and 6/1 to open or close the scoring.
Other notable goalscorer selections include Andrei Arshavin at 12/5 anytime while Cesc Fabregas' odds are trading at 13/5 while Joe Cole is listed at 3/1 to score anytime in this one.
Alberto Aquilani is priced at 13/5 with Maxi Rodriguez available at 10/3 alongside Theo Walcott.
Jack Wilshere's odds to score are priced at 5/1 anytime.
I'm confident that we'll likely see more than three goals and I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see either side open the scoring within the first 15 minutes. A half-time reverse wouldn't be a shock either and Liverpool to win the first half with Arsenal winning the match would reward at 33/1.
