Tip and analysis – Liverpool vs. Arsenal
Form and stats
-
Liverpool: The league title has already been secured by Arne Slot's team, but they suffered a surprising 3–1 defeat in the last round. At home, however, they remain dominant: they haven’t lost at Anfield in over a year, winning 9 of their last 10 home games. They will be eager to reaffirm their dominance in front of the home crowd.
-
Arsenal: A disappointing period for the Gunners – they were eliminated from the Champions League and recently lost at home to Bournemouth. They are slipping down the table in the final stretch of the season, and European qualification is still uncertain if their form doesn't improve.
Tactical analysis
-
Liverpool: Under Arne Slot, the team emphasizes quick ball movement, intense pressing, and wing-based attacks. In midfield, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, and Gravenberch provide control and creativity, while Díaz, Salah, and Gakpo/Núñez offer dynamic and dangerous options up front. The defense has also stabilized in the second half of the season.
-
Arsenal: Mikel Arteta’s side continues to focus on possession and technical combinations, but sharpness in the final third has been missing lately. Defensive errors, especially away from home, are a recurring problem. Saka and Martinelli remain key threats, but creativity often fades if Ødegaard is not in top form.
Main tip:
Liverpool to win and over 1.5 total goals
Reasoning:
Liverpool are extremely strong at home, even though the title is already won. There are no signs of letting up, and Slot keeps his squad focused through the season's end. Arsenal’s away form and defensive fragility make it unlikely they will earn points at Anfield. Given the style of both teams, goals are expected.
Alternative tip:
Alexis Mac Allister to score or assist
Reasoning:
Mac Allister has become a leader in Liverpool’s midfield in the second half of the season. He regularly takes penalties and plays key passes. He’s a strong candidate to play a decisive role in a big match like this.
Summary
This match is a matter of prestige, even if Liverpool no longer need points. The Anfield atmosphere, team momentum, and technical edge all favor the hosts. Arsenal will need to take risks to get a result, which may expose them further. Expect an open game with Liverpool dominance and goals.
