Liverpool vs Arsenal Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The previous EPL game between these clubs ended in a 2-2 draw.

Liverpool are all set to battle it out against Arsenal in what is going to be the matchweek 3 fixture of the 2025-26 English Premier League. Anfield is all set to witness the intense clash between these heavyweights.

The Arne Slot-led side will be at home yet again. The Reds are coming in after taking down Newcastle United in their previous Premier League game. Liverpool scored a last-minute goal to earn three more points. They have started their title defence on a strong note and will be looking to maintain this form here.

Arsenal have also started their season on a positive note, where they first defeated Manchester United in their opening game and then dominated Leeds United in their second league game. The Mikel Arteta-led side have added some new players who can exploit Liverpool’s defence.

Players to Watch

Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool)

Hugo Ekitike has performed well for Liverpool in both of their previous league games. The 23-year-old French forward has scored two goals in two Premier League appearances. He is set to play a crucial role in the attacking front for the Reds once again, and it will be interesting to see his performance in this role.

Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal)

Viktor Gyokeres is coming in after scoring a sensational brace in Arsenal’s 5-0 win against Leeds United in their last league fixture. The 27-year-old Swedish forward looked good throughout the game and will yet again be seen in the final third for the Gunners. Gyokeres shut down his doubters and will be looking to come up with a similar performance here.
