Arsenal – Liverpool

England’s vice-champions will not lose an away game in London

The central encounter of the tenth round of the English Premier League will be played in London at the Emirates Stadium. Bookmakers' predictions prior to the start of the season were close to seeing the current league leader and mid-table side meet in this encounter. At the same time, the roles of the opponents were given to the opposing sides. Certainly, no one expected Liverpool to be in ninth place in the Premier League as vice-champions. Arsenal, on the other hand, are currently in the lead and are showing the most consistent level of play in the elite of English football. The bookmakers have not picked a favourite for the London encounter, offering equal odds for the opponents. Arsenal have played ten official fixtures this season, winning nine of them and losing one. The first match in September, when the Canaries failed to face Manchester United on the road, was unsuccessful. The collection of victories in the remaining meetings allows the London club to occupy first place in Group A of the Europa League and first place in the Premier League with 21 points from a possible 24. All of the home side's best players except Smith-Rowe and El Neny are ready for the match against the Reds. Liverpool are feverish at the start of the season. It is not the first time it has happened to the team under Jurgen Klopp, so the Merseyside fans believe that the unfortunate course of the season will soon change for the better. The Reds have won just twice in the seven league outings played and have not picked up three away points in any official match of the season. Like their upcoming opponents, Liverpool managed to lose to Manchester United, but were also defeated in Napoli and failed to win the Merseyside derby. All of this not only frustrates the team's players, but also motivates them to rectify the situation. A win over an opponent of Arsenal's caliber is imperative for the classy players in poor form to assert themselves. It is worth noting that in the last five head-to-head meetings between Arsenal and Liverpool since the start of 2021, the Canaries have failed to score a single goal and have lost four times. There is every reason to believe that Liverpool will at least not lose in London.
