Arsenal FC vs Liverpool FC
On Wednesday night, two of the most traditional teams in history will meet in the Premier League on Matchday 27. Arsenal FC welcomes the Reds from Liverpool to the Emirates Stadium for a catch-up game at 21:15. Both are currently marching through the league. Arsenal has won five games in a row and is accordingly on course for the Champions League. The team seems to be internalizing the philosophy better and better. After a disastrous start to the season, the Gunners are now the third best home team.
Only Liverpool FC can currently top this form, as Jürgen Klopp’s team has celebrated eight wins in a row. Accordingly, the match on Wednesday evening could be a top-class affair. Who we think has the better cards, you can find out in this Arsenal – Liverpool tip.

Arsenal form & balance check
Even though the really great times of the club are over for now and the Gunners no longer dominate the league, the development this season has been very positive for a long time. At the beginning of the season, the mood at Arsenal was still gloomy, but now the negativity has faded and the team is swimming on the wave of euphoria. They have won nine of their last eleven league games and now have Champions League qualification in their own hands. With 48 points, they are in fourth place in the table.
The homegrowns are delivering
Arsenal FC doesn’t have one star who shoots opponents to pieces, but has formed a team that acts as a unit on the field. Above all, the young guns have been delivering consistently in recent weeks. With Saka, Smith-Rowe and Martinelli, three youngsters have come to the fore this season who could shape the future of the club. Smith-Rowe’s development is particularly impressive, as the 21-year-old has not yet been able to fulfill his potential on a sustained basis in recent years. This season has been all the better for it and he is the face of Arsenal FC’s rise.
Arsenal facts & analysis
– Only one defeat from the last 11 games.
– Smith-Rowe is the top scorer with 9 goals
– Arsenal have won 10 of their last 12 home games
Liverpool form & balance check
At the halfway point of the series, probably few would have expected the title race to get this exciting again. But the Reds have been incredibly strong in this second half of the season, and if you add in the post-season game, they are also the best team of the second half of the season so far. With one game less, the gap to the Skyblues is six points. Even if Liverpool don’t play their opponents to the wall in every match, their performances have been consistently solid. Only five goals conceded in nine official second-round matches is an extremely strong figure.
The best “team” in the world
Few teams in Europe are as well-rehearsed as the Reds. The basis of the squad stands and this is only ever improved selectively and very sensibly. But the most impressive thing is the defensive stability of the team, because the opponents hardly manage to create scoring chances against Jürgen Klopp’s team. Recently, they remained without conceding a goal in four of the five games. However, the important weeks are still to come, and a win on Wednesday night would be extremely important, as the team can’t really afford any more mistakes from now on. Otherwise, that’s it for the championship this year.
Liverpool facts & analysis
– The third best away team in the league.
– Unbeaten for 9 games in the league
– Salah is the top scorer with 20 goals
Predicted lineup – last update on March 15, 2022
With both coming away victorious in commanding fashion last weekend, we don’t expect too many personnel changes on either side. Mikel Arteta could once again rely on Smith-Rowe on Wednesday night, who has been out lately. The Reds do not need to make any changes either, with Thiago at most making his debut in midfield. Henderson would probably have to make way for him.
