Arsenal vs Liverpool Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 01/08/26

Arsenal will be out to avenge their 1-0 defeat at Anfield earlier this season when they attempt to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League against Liverpool on Thursday. There seems to be less and less doubt now that Arne Slot’s side will relinquish the title they claimed in such impressive style last term. Although they are now unbeaten in 6 league games after a dreadful autumn run, draws against Leeds and Fulham over the New Year programme mean they trail the table-topping Gunners by 14 points with 18 games to go. They were fortunate that tight offside decisions went their way in both contests and could slip out of the Champions League positions once more if they come away from North London without a point.

That scenario looks highly likely given Arsenal’s recent form, which has seen them win 5 straight league games – including a notable 4-1 home thrashing of 3rd-placed Aston Villa. Mikel Arteta’s team has the best defensive record in the top flight by far and remain the set-piece masters of Europe. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s weakness on corners and free-kicks have been laid bare this season. They recently parted company with set-piece coach Aaron Briggs after a torrid first half of the campaign in which they scored 3 and conceded 12 goals from non-penalty set-play situations. At the time he was sacked, Briggs’ Liverpool had conceded the joint-most set-piece goals in Europe’s top 5 leagues – despite having arguably one of the best center-backs and one of the top goalkeepers in the world. All signs point to Arsenal picking up yet another victory in a high-scoring clash.
