Sunday afternoon’s match at Anfield sees a Liverpool side fresh from securing qualification to the Champions League take on Europa League bound Arsenal.

The Reds are currently on a three game winning streak with their two victories over Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim coming either side of last weekend’s win against Crystal Palace.

Victory for Jurgen Klopp’s side will see them move into the top four and level on points with second place Huddersfield Town, who continued their unbeaten start to life in the Premier League with a goalless draw against Southampton.

Adam Lallana, Nathaniel Clyne and Philippe Coutinho remain sidelined for the hosts while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Emre Can face late fitness tests ahead of kick-off.

Mohamed Salah is priced at 7.0 (6/1) to open the scoring with Sky Bet with Sadio Mane 6.5 (11/2) chance with a variety of firms.

A number of bookmakers have the home win at 2.15 (23/20) with the visitors as highly priced as the 3.5 (5/2) on offer from Betfair. The draw is widely available at 3.8 (14/5).

Arsene Wenger’s side fell to a shock 1-0 defeat to Stoke City last time out with Jese Rodriguez scoring the only goal of the game on his debut for the Potters.

The North Londoners will be boosted by the return of Alexis Sanchez who could make his first appearance of the season despite ongoing speculation surrounding his future while captain Laurent Koscielny is also available following a three game ban.

Most firms have Alexandre Lacazette at 7.0 (6/1) to get the first goal of the game with Sanchez a 8.5 (15/2) chat with Betfred.

The Merseyside outfit won both of last season’s meetings between the sides scoring seven goals in the process.
Last season’s corresponding fixture ended in a 3-1 triumph for the Reds while they also edged a seven goal thriller at the Emirates just over twelve months ago.

In fact five of the last six clashes between the pair have boasted at least four goals and you can back that outcome this time around at 2.45 (29/20) with Betfair while Betfred offer 1.5 (1/2) for both teams to score.
