Arsenal 11/8 to beat Liverpool in Friday’s Premier League showdown

Competition: Premier League

Market: Arsenal to beat Liverpool

Odds: 11/8 @ Bet365

The Premier League returns this weekend with yet another massive round of fixtures, with every side desperate to add three more points to their season’s tally. With the festive period now in full swing, teams are playing every few days with rest at a premium. With this in mind, there is a heavyweight cash at the top as Arsenal host Liverpool in the match of the weekend.

Arsenal have not been in the best of form lately, but they look like they are coming out of their recent slump at the right time. In their last five games they have won twice, drawn twice and lost once, however, their last match ended in a morale-boosting win. After 18 games they have picked up 33 points, meaning they are a point behind Liverpool in the last Champions League spot. A win on Friday would give them control of fourth-place, and it would deal the Reds a major blow in their battle for a place in Europe’s premier competition next year.

Liverpool have been in good form recently, but it seems as though their scoring touch has deserted them once or twice. In their last five they have won three times and drawn twice, and, following a few draws, they are coming into this game on the back of a thumping 4-0 win over Bournemouth. Jurgen Klopp’s men know how important it is to ensure that they do not lose to Arsenal, but the Reds only really play in one way, and that is to attack. With all of this in mind, we are backing Arsenal with odds of 11/8 from Bet365.
