Arsenal vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting tips
Arsenal is widely considered the favorite for tonight’s Premier League clash at the Emirates, which kicks off at
8pm GMT on Thursday, January 8, 2026. The Gunners lead the league table, while Liverpool are in a battle for a top-four spot. In recent history, matches between these two teams have been tightly contested. Liverpool secured a 1-0 victory at Anfield earlier this season (August 2025). Arsenal has won two of the last three league meetings in London. The match will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League in the UK. In the US, it is available on Fubo, and in Canada, on Fubo Sports via DAZN.
Arsenal:
Arsenal enters the match on a strong run of form, having won their last five league games in a row, including a recent 3-2 win over Bournemouth. They are also undefeated at home this season in all competitions, having dropped points only once in the league. Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard are expected to return to the starting lineup after being rested in the last game. Kai Havertz is also close to a return from a lengthy absence. Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera remain sidelined.
Liverpool:
Liverpool, the defending champions, are unbeaten in their last nine games across all competitions, but this run includes several draws against teams like Sunderland and Fulham, which has slowed their momentum. The Reds are missing key attackers, including Mohamed Salah (international duty at AFCON) and Alexander Isak (injured). There is also a question mark over Hugo Ekitike, who missed the draw against Fulham with a hamstring injury and is a late decision for this match.
