Liverpool vs Arsenal Prediction (Premier League) Odds and Bets 01.11.2026

Liverpool have won four of their opening eight Premier League matches, drawing three and losing once. Their recent league performances have been encouraging. Following a disappointing 3-0 home defeat against Manchester City, the Reds beat Brentford 2-1 and Brighton 2-0.

Alexander Isak scored in both victories, providing an important attacking outlet for Iraola’s side. Liverpool also progressed to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday, defeating Chelsea 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Anfield. Iraola made seven changes for that fixture, allowing several regular starters to manage their workload.

However, Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong remain unavailable, while Dominik Szoboszlai’s fitness requires monitoring. Liverpool have been more competitive recently, but Arsenal represent another serious examination of their progress.

Arsenal have enjoyed an excellent Premier League campaign, winning seven of their opening eight matches. Mikel Arteta’s side have won their last three league fixtures, beating Leeds United 2-1, Nottingham Forest 1-0 and Everton 2-0. Their defensive record has been particularly impressive, with just five goals conceded across eight Premier League matches.

Ezri Konsa and Gabriel Magalhães scored against Everton, while Arsenal restricted their opponents to relatively few opportunities. However, Tuesday’s Carabao Cup elimination against Fleetwood Town was an unexpected setback. The Gunners drew 1-1 before losing 5-3 on penalties.

Bukayo Saka and William Saliba are unavailable, while Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori have faced fitness concerns. Despite those selection issues, Arsenal’s league performances make them serious contenders to take something from Anfield.

1. Arsenal’s Defensive Strength: The Gunners have conceded just five goals in eight Premier League matches, keeping five clean sheets.
2. Liverpool’s Home Advantage: Anfield could provide a significant boost, although Manchester City’s 3-0 victory there in October showed Liverpool can be beaten at home.
3. Isak’s Recent Form: The Liverpool striker scored against Brentford and Brighton. His movement will be important against an Arsenal defence missing Saliba.
4. Midweek Cup Results: Liverpool eliminated Chelsea on penalties, while Arsenal suffered a surprise defeat against Fleetwood. Both managers rotated their squads.
5. Arsenal’s League Consistency: Seven victories in eight matches demonstrate Arteta’s side’s ability to secure results. Arsenal or Draw at 2/5 is my preferred selection.
