Our prediction for this Premier League match:
There will be fireworks when Liverpool and Arsenal go head to head at Anfield in the Premier League round 12. The Reds aim to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to West Ham United, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Gunners. Sadio Mane picked up a knock in Senegal’s 1-1 draw with Togo, and, as a result, he is rated doubtful for Saturday’s clash. Robert Firmino and Naby Keita are definitely sidelined with injuries, while all Jones, Gomez, and Henderson are major doubts.
Arsenal, on the other hand, were in a fine form before the international break, with the team winning each of their last three league fixtures. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continues where he left last season, and the Gabon international is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders. When Liverpool and Arsenal take on each other in the Premier League a high-scoring affair is guaranteed; therefore, we are tempted to put our money on over 2.5 goals. Granit Xhaka should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Henderson):
Jordan Henderson is an English football player born on the 17th of June 1990 in Sunderland. Henderson started his football career playing for Sunderland.

Highlighted Team (Arsenal):
Arsenal are regarded as one of the best English teams. The Gunners have won 12 FA Cup trophies, 13 league titles and two League Cups, but they have yet to lift the Champions League trophy. Arsene Wenger’s team were on the verge of beating Barcelona in the Champions League final back in 2006, but they eventually failed to win the prestigious title.
Arsenal used to play their homes at Highbury, but in 2006 they moved to the Emirates Stadium. The capacity of the stadium is 60,260. The Gunners won their last Premier League trophy back in 2004, with the capital club going through the season without a single loss. The likes of Thierry Henry, Denis Bergkamp and Robert Pires were part of the team back then, but Arsenal have not won the league trophy ever since.
Arsenal was founded by Woolwich munitions workers as Dial Square back in 1886. It is well known that Tottenham Hotspur are Arsenal’s fiercest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals meet in the North London derby.
