Both Liverpool and Arsenal have made perfect starts to their Premier League campaigns – with the pair bagging six points from their first two matches.

However, despite winning their opening two games – the Champions Liverpool have still leaked four goals (but scored seven).

Liverpool F.C vs Arsenal F.C. Stats Suggest The Draw Is The Value Bet

As already pointed out – it seems the layers are finding it hard to split Liverpool and Arsenal this season – both are around 7/4 to win the league.

And it’s easy to see why, based on the recent Liverpool F.C. vs Arsenal F.C. stats – as both meetings last term ended in 2-2 draws.

If you think we are set for another – then you can back 2-2 again in the correct score market at 12/1.

While this draw trend actually goes back further than just last season.

In fact, Liverpool and Arsenal have played out stalemates in the last three repeat league clashes at Anfield.

Plus, four of the last five league H2H’s also ended all-square.

There is a former Gunner also siding with the draw as the Paul Merson Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction is for a 1-1 stalemate.

You can support another Liverpool vs Arsenal draw ahead of Sunday’s match at 5/2.

Recent Liverpool vs Arsenal H2H’s Point To Plenty Of Goals On Sunday 

Another betting angle into Sunday’s big game could be to side with goals, goals, goals.

Why?

Well, a massive 18 of the last 22 H2H’s (82%) between the sides saw OVER 2.5 GOALS.

Including five of the last six repeat fixtures.

The only downside here is OVER 2.5 GOALS is just 4/5 in the betting.

However, with a MASSIVE 11 of the last 12 repeat league fixtures at Anfield also going over 3.5 GOALS, this might appeal more at a bigger 2/1.

Both teams have also scored in ALL of the last six league games between the sides – this can be backed again at 8/13.

Could We See An Anfield RED CARD on Sunday?

Despite this Liverpool vs Arsenal game coming on only week three – this clash could still have a big impact on the title race.

Which means we could be in for a tense affair that might lead to tempers boiling over.

This has also been a trend when these sides have met in recent seasons – with TWO RED CARDS in the last three H2H’s.

It’s one each on the red card stakes – with Liverpool’s Mikel Merino getting his marching orders in their last game.

While Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konte also saw three games ago – back in the 2023/24 season at the Emirates.

Mikel Merino Scored In Both Liverpool vs Arsenal H2H’s Last Season

Mikel Merino Has A Great Scoring Record Against Liverpool

When it comes to the goal scoring markets the likes of Mo Salah for Liverpool and Arsenal’s Viktor Gyokeres are both going to be popular.

Salah is 6/4 to score anytime and Gyokeres 2/1.

All eyes will also be on new Arsenal man Eberechi Eze, as he makes his debut for the Gunners – but he might only be used off the bench to start.

The former Eagle is on offer at 3/1 to hit the ground running and score in his first game wearing an Arsenal shirt.

However, the player that did the best last season in these H2H’s was Arsenal’s Mikel Merino.

Yes, as mentioned, the Spaniard was also sent off in the last game between the sides.

But he also scored in that match at Anfield and also in last season’s match-up at the Emirates.

Merino is on offer at 6/1 to score anytime in Sunday’s game.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Stats Betting Tip: The Draw Looks The Value Call 

With six points from their opening two league games, this is a clash both sides won’t want to lose.

Of course, being only the third match this season in the league, then there is plenty of time to recover – but early momentum can also be key.

With home advantage, then Liverpool will be popular – but having leaked four goals in two games already, have also looked vulnerable at the back.

In contrast, Arsenal are yet to let a goal in and will come here full of confidence after thumping Leeds 5-0 last weekend.

So, with the recent Liverpool F.C. vs Arsenal F.C. stats also telling us these sides love a draw – then the 5/2 on another stalemate looks value.

But the stats also tell us the teams love a goal fest when meeting – with an incredible 11 of the last 12 repeat fixtures going OVER 3.5 GOALS.

4+ goals is tempting at 2/1, but we are happy to take the slightly more conservative route and back OVER 2.5 GOALS at what looks fair value at 4/5.

You can either back this in a single – or plonk Over 2.5 goals in your Liverpool vs Arsenal bet builder bets.

BEST BET: Liverpool vs Arsenal: OVER 2.5 @ 4/5
