Liverpool vs. Arsenal picks and predictions
Prediction
Liverpool 1, Arsenal 1
Moneyline (ML)
SPRINKLE DRAW (+260).
Both teams are playing at a high level, and the loss of M Alexis Mac Allister, who is still expected to be sidelined, may loom large in this game. His absence hurt in the team's draw with Man U last weekend, and it may be enough to see value on the draw.
Arsenal has won 5 of its last 6 EPL matches and is surging, but going on the road to the 2nd-ranked Liverpool could pose a challenge. Liverpool is coming off its lone home draw of the season as well.
For a small unit, back DRAW (+260).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (+110).
While both teams have strong attacks, they each have high-level defenses as well. Liverpool has had 3 clean sheets in its last 6 games. It has gone Under this total in 3 of its last 6. It didn't score in its last matchup against Man U.
Arsenal has gone Under in 3 of its last 5 games and has had 2 of its last 5 games go Under even 1.5 goals. Considering the strength of each defense, expected limited scoring here.
Back UNDER 2.5 (+110).
