<p>Arsenal versus Liverpool may feel a little different this season. In recent years, this has been a fixture that can have a huge impact on where the title ends up. This year, though, Arne Slot’s side have struggled and are nowhere near the fight for league honours.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Gunners, meanwhile, remain at the top of the Premier League table and in the fight to be champions. Mikel Arteta’s side are in a great position going into their match against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Friday, January 9, at 07:00 AEDT. They currently sit six points ahead of Manchester City and Aston Villa in second and third, respectively.&nbsp;</p> <p>Is it Arsenal’s to lose? Well, possibly. But we’ve been in this situation many times over the last few years…</p> <p>Read on for our Arsenal vs Liverpool betting predictions to see what we think and where the potential value is for this upcoming fixture.</p> <h2>Arsenal vs Liverpool Betting Preview</h2> <p>There is no denying that this is still a huge soccer fixture. It’s one that many fans will have circled well ahead of time, despite it not being the title-decider many would have expected it to be. Still, that offers potential betting value in other ways, and we can expect this game to remain competitive.</p> <p>When looking at the last five meetings between these two sides, there have been three draws.</p> <p>The last time they met at the Emirates Stadium (October 2024), the game finished 2-2. Arsenal had taken a 2-1 lead in the first half: Bukayo Saka scored early, with Virgil van Dijk leveling before a Mikel Merino goal. Mohamed Salah netted in the 81st minute to rescue a point. Of course, the Reds will be without Salah this time around as he is still away with Egypt at AFCON.</p> <p>Of the other two games to have been drawn, one finished 1-1 (December 2023) and 2-2 (May 2025).</p> <h2>Arsenal vs Liverpool Betting Predictions</h2> <p>At Sportsbet, we’ve got the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/united-kingdom/english-premier-league/arsenal-v-liverpool-10001462">Arsenal vs Liverpool betting odds</a>. Arsenal are the favourites, and we predict they will win.</p> <p>We’re predicting the ‘Arsenal 2-1’ scoreline to hit, as we expect the Both Teams to Score market to hit in this one.&nbsp; Arsenal boast a 3-1 win at the Emirates Stadium (February 2024), while Liverpool won the last meeting between these two sides 1-0 (Anfield) at the beginning of the season (August 2025). Dominik Szoboszlai scored a stunning free-kick in the 83rd minute to win the game.</p> <p><br /> Declan Rice and Hugo Ekitike as ‘Anytime Goalscorers’ offer value based on recent showings. Rice had two goals against Bournemouth, while Ekitike could be available after sitting out the last match with a minor hamstring issue. He has five goals in his last five games.</p>
