Premier League: Liverpool VS Arsenal, Head-to-head, probable lineup, prediction

When Arsenal face Liverpool, they want to extend their winning streak to eight consecutive matches.

The confident Gunners are in excellent form and approach the weekend atop the Premier League standings after a superb victory over Tottenham in the north London derby last weekend. At the same time, their strong Europa League campaign continued with an easy win over Norwegian minnows Bodo/Glimt on Thursday.

Defending champions Manchester City, now one point behind Arsenal in second, host struggling Southampton on Saturday. Mikel Arteta's high-flying team will be anxious to quickly re-establish their dominance with another statement result.

Jurgen Klopp's men have struggled to establish their footing in the Premier League and sit in ninth place with just 10 points after seven matches.

Merseyside appeared to have turned a turnaround with consecutive home victories against Bournemouth and Newcastle United, but Everton and Brighton & Hove Albion have since defeated them.

Even though they have so much work to do domestically, their Champions League campaign is back on track after a midweek 2-0 win over Rangers and a triumph over Ajax.

Head-to-head: Liverpool has won 94 games, whereas Arsenal has emerged victorious 81 times. In comparison, 62 games have ended up in a draw.

Arsenal is winless in their last five encounters with Liverpool in all competitions, failing to score a single goal in the process (and conceding 11).

Liverpool predicted lineup

Injuries have made things difficult for Jurgen Klopp. Still, the upcoming returns of Ibrahima Konate and Andrew Robertson give Liverpool reason for optimism as they attempt to reverse direction and remain in striking distance of the league's summit.

They are scheduled to travel without midfielders Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arthur, and Curtis Jones owing to injury. Still, Jones returned to training on Thursday and is nearing a return.

Alisson, Salah, Jota, Diaz, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago.

Arsenal predicted lineup

Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny are two long-term absentees for Arsenal. Both do not have a probable return date and are anticipated to be out for several months.

Arteta made eight substitutions for his team's midweek triumph over Bodo/Glimt, including Zinchenko, who was rested after missing Wednesday's training session due to a recent calf injury.

The Ukraine left-back was a surprise starter against Spurs in the Premier League last time, and he should be fine to replace Kieran Tierney on Sunday.

Martinelli, Xhaka, and Gabriel were the three players to keep their starting positions. The trio will probably start against Liverpool, with club captain Martin Odegaard poised to return to the attacking midfield position despite Fabio Vieira's goal in midweek.

Ramsdale, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Xhaka

Liverpool VS Arsenal prediction

Arsenal is confident after bouncing back dramatically from their lone stumble of the season at Old Trafford, a game in which they also performed admirably.

Liverpool has a solid record against Arsenal in recent seasons, and despite their recent struggles, they are anticipated to play well in North London. This game appears to be headed toward a Gunners victory in a close contest.

Final prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Liverpool
