An intriguing context awaits us this weekend when Arsenal and Premier League leaders Liverpool meet in the FA Cup third round.
Following yet another impressive beginning to the Premier League season, it appears that Arsenal is once again on the verge of being labeled as underperformers. Mikel Arteta’s team closed out 2023 with a single victory in their last six games across all competitions, allowing two goals each in their most recent two matches, and scoring only once. Nevertheless, the Gunners can draw encouragement for their upcoming weekend game from their status as the most decorated team in the FA Cup, boasting 14 titles.
Meanwhile, Liverpool broke a 16-year FA Cup title dry spell in 2022, but couldn’t capitalize on that victory in the following season, as they were ousted by Brighton in the fourth round. This season, however, Jürgen Klopp’s team appears to have regained their footing, currently leading the league and having suffered only one defeat so far.
Arsenal vs Liverpool Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Arsenal may have been struggling to score goals in recent games, but their goal scoring record against Liverpool has been impressive. Arteta’s team has managed to find the back of the net in their last three encounters with the Reds, with both teams scoring in each of these three matches.
Liverpool should not be dismissed when it comes to scoring goals, as they have only failed to score in one of their 29 games in all competitions this season. However, clean sheets have been uncommon for Jürgen Klopp’s team this season, particularly in away games. This is evidenced by the fact that they have only managed three clean sheets in their 14 away games this season.

Liverpool team news
Liverpool FC, similar to their hosts, also have players on international duty. Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo are participating in the Africa Cup of Nations and the Asian Cup respectively. However, these are not the only players absent from the Reds’ roster.
Thiago and Stefan Bajcetic, who have not yet played this season due to injury, will be joined in the treatment room by Andy Robertson, Joel Matip, and Kostas Tsimikas.
The recent victory over Newcastle United has left Dominik Szoboszlai’s participation doubtful due to an injury the midfielder sustained.
