Why Bet on Liverpool?
Unlike last season, Liverpool has been fighting for the top positions since the first few games and is now second, just one point behind its next rival.
In their previous Premier League match, the team led by Jürgen Klopp drew 0-0 with Manchester United, which took away the possibility of remaining in first place in English soccer. However, the 38 points of the Reds give hope for the second part of the season, which is usually the best historically.
An important point in favor of Liverpool is that, at home, they are a powerful team, despite the last draw. They have won seven games, scoring 21 goals and conceding just five. Anfield Road is a stage that makes this team grow.
Likewise, the Reds need a great version of their best player, Mohamed Salah, who did not have the best of nights against United. The Egyptian has 11 goals and seven assists in 17 matches.
In addition to Salah, Luis Díaz, Darwin Núñez, and Cody Gakpo must contribute more so that the offense can weigh more against a good defense like the one of the Gunners.
Liverpool are waiting for the evolution of Alexis Mac Allister, while Diogo Jota, Andrew Robertson, Joel Matip, Thiago, and Stefan Bajcetic are out. They come into this game from predictably battering West Ham 5-1 in the EFL Cup quarterfinals.
Why Bet on Arsenal?
Arsenal have blood in their eyes since last season when they had the Premier League on the line. However, a bad finish served on a silver platter the final celebration to Manchester City.
The Gunners are coming from a good 2-0 win over Brighton, thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz. So far, Mikel Arteta’s team has 39 points from 12 wins, three draws and two defeats.
Just as Liverpool depends a lot on Salah, Arsenal needs Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka to be inspired and to take advantage of the good moments of Gabriel Jesus and Havertz, especially the latter, who has gained confidence.
The London team has been a good visitor in the season, collecting 16 points in eight matches. However, their last outing ended in a 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa, who outplayed them from start to finish.
With 15 goals conceded, Arsenal, like their opponents, have the best defense in the English league. Away from home, they have conceded only seven times.
Injured for the Gunners are Takehiro Tomiyasu, Fábio Vieira, Thomas Partey, and Jurrien Timber.

Why should smart players use Decimal odds instead of American odds?
American odds like the Imperial system are nonsense, with decimal odds you simply need to multiply your (stake * decimal odds) to understand your potential winnings. No more insane calculations that don’t really do a bettor any good.
