Arsenal vs Liverpool Betting Form

Arsenal Recent Form

Arsenal are favourites for the title and have a six-point cushion to their nearest rivals. It is a position they have been in before, losing out on the league after a late season collapse. However currently it doesn’t look like they will be challenged. Arsenal have grinded out key wins including vs Bournemouth and Brighton, they are also getting most of their squad available again. Which is good news as the Gunners have a busy January schedule.

Win: Bournemouth 2-3 Arsenal, Saturday 3^rd January.

Win: Arsenal 4-1 Aston Villa, Tuesday 30^th December.

Win: Arsenal 2-1 Brighton, Saturday 27^th December.

Win: Arsenal 1-1 Crystal Palace (8-7 Penalties), Tuesday 23^rd December.

Win: Everton 0-1 Arsenal, Saturday 20^th December.

Liverpool Recent Form

Liverpool thought they had picked up their first win of 2026 when Cody Gakpo netted in added time against Fulham, but a stunning strike from Harrison Reed even later meant it was more dropped points. A recent unbeaten run has got Liverpool back into the top 4. However, they look flat going forward and fans are beginning to get frustrated at Arne Slot’s inability to provide solutions.

Draw: Fulham 2-2 Liverpool, Sunday 4^th January.

Draw: Liverpool 0-0 Leeds, Thursday 1^st January.

Win: Liverpool 2-1 Wolves, Saturday 27^th December.

Win: Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool, Saturday 20^th December.

Win: Liverpool 2-0 Brighton, Saturday 13^th December.
