After their elimination from the Champions League, Arsenal return to domestic action for their last three matches of the season. On Premier League matchday 36, they’ll be at Anfield to face Liverpool. Below is our prediction.
Hosts Liverpool have already won the league title and have nothing to play for. In their first match after being confirmed champions, they lost 3-1 at Chelsea with a much-changed squad.
It is still expected Arne Slot will rest a number of his key men for this game. The Reds are unbeaten in their last 15 home league matches and will be looking to keep this run going.
Arsenal are coming from a poor run and risk losing a fourth straight match here. The Gunners suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday.
That was the blow that confirmed they would be ending another season without silverware. They can at least try to finish second in the league.
They’ve managed to finish as runner-up in the last two seasons, but in their current form, they are at risk of dropping. Before traveling to Paris, Arsenal had, for the second straight game, dropped points from a winning position.
They lost 2-1 at home to Bournemouth. Mikel Arteta’s side has one win only in five league matches.
Liverpool are no longer the dominant side in this fixture as it was before. Arsenal have grown a lot in the face of such contests, and unlike before, they rarely fail to score. Here, they'll be looking to bounce back from their elimination from Europe.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have already clinched the title and are playing under no pressure. With Arsenal pushing for second, they will make a genuine attempt to win this game, so expect an open game. Our prediction for Liverpool v Arsenal is for both teams to score.
