Liverpool Vs Arsenal Preview

• Tournament: Premier League
• Date: Sunday, 11 May
• Kick-Off Time: 03:30 PM GMT
• Venue: Anfield

The Liverpool vs Arsenal match will be played on Sunday, 11th May, at the iconic Anfield Stadium. The Premier League champions will host the Gunners in an exciting clash.

Liverpool has won the League quite comfortably this season, and even though they could have won more trophies, but still, they will still be happy to break Manchester City's winning streak. Now they will look to end their campaign on a positive note as we enter the final three matches of the season. They recently lost to Chelsea by 3-1 and will be aiming to bounce back against the Gunners. Last time out, the two teams played out a 2-2 draw. However, Arsenal may have the upper hand, considering Arne Slot may look to rest some players and may not stick to his strongest 11.

On the other hand, the Gunners will be disappointed not to win the league once again, but there are positives to take from this season. Much will depend on how well Arsenal are able to traverse past PSG in the second leg of the UCL semifinals. Despite starting their season very well, they weren't able to perform consistently in the Premier League and lost some crucial points on the road. They are likely to finish second once again this season, and missed crucial players in important parts of the season. Manchester City has a good opportunity to replace them in the second position if the Gunners fail to get points in the last few games. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Key Players to Watch in Liverpool vs Arsenal

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Recently, Salah renewed his contract with the Reds, and he will stay for a few more seasons, despite having offers from abroad. There were many reports of him leaving the club at the end of the season, but fans will be delighted with how things have panned out, especially after Trent Alexander-Arnold's recent announcement. This season, he played a key role in helping his side win the Premier League, even though in the latter stages, his performances were mixed. Salah is already a Liverpool and Premier League legend, and will surely be a big threat to the Gunners on Sunday. He has played 49 games this season, in which he has scored 33 goals and provided 23 assists.

Declan Rice (Arsenal)

His athleticism, tackling instincts, anticipation, balance, and defensive acumen are world-class. Rice has an unflagging work rate and is a proper team player. He has proven his worth in Arteta's system and has become an integral part of the Gunners' side this campaign. Rice is someone who can adapt to any role of a midfielder, whether it is in building up from the back, holding up play, or playing as a playmaker. He can do everything, and any manager would like to have him on their side. This season, he has played 48 games, in which he has scored eight goals and provided 10 assists so far.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Prediction

Despite the Gunners' poor form in the last few games and playing away from home, they will be a tough team to beat for sure. Quality-wise, Liverpool has shown that they are the better side, but it will still be a tight match. The last few games between these Premier League giants have been very exciting, and this match on Sunday has all the ingredients to be the same. We predict an entertaining stalemate for this one.

Predicted Score: Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal
