Team Form

Arsenal has postponed their match against Tottenham due to a shortage of players, but at the same time, the Gunners are quietly loaning out their leading players, as if there is no problem with the squad. Strange decisions, however, in the League Cup, it is unlikely that the game will be postponed since youth can play here. And there is nowhere to transfer the match because Liverpool starts playing in the Champions League, and the KL final is already at the end of February.

Liverpool has not conceded in two matches in a row, but it was a goalless draw against Arsenal at Anfield. In the championship at the weekend, they defeated Brentford 3-0. There is practically no intrigue in the Premier League, but it would be nice to win the League Cup, especially since Klopp has not yet been able to do this. Given the problems of Arsenal with the squad, Liverpool can reach the final of the tournament.

Betting tips

The bookmakers understand the situation of Arsenal and predict the victory of Liverpool. You can bet on this outcome with a coefficient of 2.05. Many injured, who left for the ACN, were loaned out, and it is also covid. Nobody knows what will happen a couple of hours before the match.

The handicap (-0.5) is estimated at 2.00 for the guests. In head-to-head meetings, the Gunners managed to win only once in a stretch of ten matches. Liverpool will also be missing leading African forwards, but if the Londoners put up half the youth, then Minamino may be enough.

Arsenal scored over 2.5 goals seven times, while the opponent scored more than one goal only three times. “Both to score” played five times out of ten. In six meetings, the Gunners won.

“Liverpool” also has a trend for the bookmaker’s top – 7 out of 10. Mutual goals went six times, but the Merseysiders scored the individual total of 1.5 in seven meetings. The team lost in a stretch of ten matches only to Leicester.

Total over 2.5 is valued at 1.73.

Predictions and betting tips on the match Arsenal – Liverpool

The first match ended with a score of 0:0, but the removal of Xhaka played a significant role there. Arsenal needed to forget about the attack and defend the whole team. Liverpool, without Salah and Mane, could not undermine the defense of the Londoners. If the “Gunners” do not sit on the defensive again, then the chances of a productive and bright match are good.

It is not for nothing that bookmakers give odds of 1.73 on TO (1.73).
