Our experts have analyzed this fixture and found interesting and potentially profitable betting tips for you.
LIVERPOOL
Liverpool were dealt a blow last week when the routine Covid test returned an incredible number of positive results. But that did not deter them from doing the business on the pitch against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup. Following the Covid results, Jurgen Klopp was left no choice than fielding a much-changed Liverpool side – a team comprising youths and experienced heads.
The victory against Shrewsbury is only their second in the last five matches, but they have a much better form at home with eight wins on the bounce.
Up next for the former English Champions is more experienced Arsenal who could pose more problems than one for the Reds. It will be interesting to see how Klopp will deal with the London team with a depleted squad occasioned by COVID-19 and the unavailability of Sadio Mane and Mo Salah who are the African Cup of Nations representing Senegal and Egypt respectively.
The Merseyside last won the title in 2012 and they will be desperate to get their hands on the trophy again, but Arsenal are in the way of their ambitions.
ARSENAL
Mikel Arteta’s team was thrown out of the FA Cup by Championship outfit Nottingham Forest in the Third Round. That defeat at the City ground left a sour taste in the mouths of Arsenal fans who have voiced their displeasure at the manner of their exit.
The EFL cup now represents the only viable chance for the North London team to win a piece of silverware this season. Although they are currently placed fourth in the Premier League, their chances of winning the title are slim to the mill.
So far, they have had a decent run in this season’s EFL Cup, but the Liverpool over two legs will test their resolve to win the EFL Cup. Last time out at Anfield, the Londoners were thrashed by a rampant Liverpool team 4-0 despite a bright start on the day.
If Arsenal are going to advance from this stage they are going to be way better than their performance at the City Ground in the FA Cup and circumvent injury and COVID-19 problems of their own.
