The pick of this weekend’s Premier League clashes comes at the Emirates on Saturday evening as leader Arsenal entertain a Liverpool side two points and two places below them in the division.

The Gunners go in to the game following their 2-0 Capital One Cup fourth round defeat to Chelsea – their second straight loss at the Emirates.

However, they are unbeaten since the opening day of the season in the league, dropping just two points from the last twenty-four available to them.

Mikel Arteta returns from a one-match suspension, though Mathieu Flamini and Serge Gnasbry remain side-lined along with Lukas Podolski, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlaim, Yaya Sanogo and Abou Diaby.

Olivier Giroud is priced at 7.0 (6/1) with Bet Victor to get the first goal of the game ahead of top scorer Aaron Ramsey, who is a 11.0 (10/1) shot with the same firm.

The hosts are widely available at 2.3 (13/10) to take all three points, with Liverpool a 3.4 (12/5) chance with Bet Victor, who offer odds of 3.5 (5/2) for the draw.

The Reds, like their opponents, have lost just once in the league this season, and go into the game on the back of their superb 4-1 win over West Bromwich Albion last weekend.

Philippe Coutinho returns to the squad for the first time in six weeks having recovered from a shoulder injury though Jose Enrique remains out along with long-term absentee Sebastian Coates.

With six goals in his last four games, Luis Suarez is favourite to open the scoring at 6.5 (11/2) with Bet Victor, just ahead of strike partner, and current Premier League top scorer Daniel Sturridge, who is 7.0 (6/1) with the same firm.

Arsenal have scored exactly two goals in each of their last three meetings against Liverpool, and can be backed at 1.91 (10/11) with Coral to score at least twice this time around.

Alternatively, as the league leaders have kept just two domestic clean sheets so far this season, you be tempted to take advantage of a home win with both teams to score, which is generously priced at 3.9 (29/10) with Coral.
