Liverpool began their campaign by putting four past Bournemouth before a dramatic 100th-minute winner from debutant Rio Ngumoha sealed a 3-2 victory over Newcastle. Arne Slot’s side have hit seven goals in two matches but conceded four, with their defensive fragility already under scrutiny.
Their high-risk style leaves them open to counters, which could be dangerous against Arsenal’s pacey frontline. However, Anfield remains a fortress, and their attacking options can trouble any defence.

Arsenal have started the season strongly, beating Manchester United before thrashing Leeds 5-0. Crucially, they are yet to concede this campaign, showing defensive solidity alongside attacking power.
Mikel Arteta’s summer signings have added depth and quality, and his side look better equipped than ever to sustain a title charge. The challenge will be translating that momentum into a result at Anfield, where Arsenal have often struggled in the past.
MatchPlug Prediction on Liverpool vs Arsenal
This fixture pits Liverpool’s explosive but vulnerable attack against Arsenal’s balanced and organised side. Goals are expected at both ends, but Arsenal’s stronger defensive record may prove decisive against Liverpool’s leaky backline.
Final Prediction: Arsenal Over/Under
