Arsenal vs Liverpool Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 21 of the Premier League, scheduled for January 08, 2026, at 20:00 GMT. The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports and NOW TV. The clash takes place at the Emirates Stadium, with the Gunners sitting pretty at the top of the table while Liverpool trails by a massive fourteen points. It is a staggering gap that few saw coming after the reverse fixture in August. In this article, you’ll discover Today’s Premier League Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Arsenal heads into this massive clash on a seven match winning streak across all competitions.
- The Gunners have won fourteen of their fifteen home matches at the Emirates this season.
- Bukayo Saka could become the first Arsenal player to score in four straight home league games.
- Liverpool have struggled defensively recently by conceding thirteen goals from set pieces in this campaign.
- The Reds are currently fourteen points behind Arsenal after drawing their last two league matches.
- Mohamed Salah remains unavailable for the visitors due to his ongoing Africa Cup of Nations duties.
Mikel Arteta’s side has turned their home ground into a genuine fortress this season, winning fourteen out of fifteen games in front of their own fans. They are currently on a seven match winning run, and the momentum is almost palpable. While Manchester City and Aston Villa have both stumbled lately, Arsenal just keeps grinding out results. Can they really turn this dominance into a trophy? It is hard to say how this will end, but a six point lead at the top certainly helps. Still, playing the reigning champions is never easy, even if those champions look a bit shell shocked at the moment. Arteta will surely view this as the ultimate test of their title credentials.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has addressed concerns over his team's "dull" playing style ahead of Thursday’s Premier League clash with Arsenal. While acknowledging the frustration following recent draws against Leeds and Fulham, Slot maintains that his squad can achieve "special things" once fully fit. Meanwhile, top scorer Hugo Ekitike remains a significant injury doubt for the trip to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal’s home dominance this season is the primary reason to back them for a victory. The Gunners have secured fourteen wins in fifteen matches at the Emirates, creating an intimidating atmosphere for any traveling side. Statistically, they are averaging 2.6 goals scored per home game while conceding only 0.5. This defensive solidity is a nightmare for a Liverpool attack currently missing its talisman, Mohamed Salah. While the Reds have a strong historical record against Arsenal, their current away form tells a different story. Liverpool concedes an average of 1.8 goals per match on the road, which aligns poorly with Arsenal’s high pressing style. With Mikel Arteta’s men on a seven match winning streak across all competitions, their confidence is sky high. The tactical mismatch in midfield and the Gunners' efficiency in front of goal make a home win the most logical outcome for this Thursday night blockbuster.
