Liverpool vs Arsenal: match preview

Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday 1 November 2026, kick-off 23:30 WIB, in Premier League matchday 9. Arsenal sit second and Liverpool fourth, and the gap reflects a clear difference in results so far this season.

Form and table

Arsenal have 21 points from eight games, with seven wins and one defeat, scoring 13 and conceding five. Liverpool have 15 points from eight, with four wins, three draws and one defeat, scoring 11 and conceding eight. Arsenal's away record is nine points from four matches, with four scored and three conceded. Liverpool have taken five points from four home games, scoring four and conceding five.

Recent results point the same way. Arsenal beat Everton 2-0 on 24 October, won 1-0 at Nottingham Forest on 18 October and beat Leeds 2-1 on 10 October. Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 on 25 October and won 2-1 at Brentford on 17 October, but lost 3-0 to Manchester City on 11 October.

Head-to-head

The head-to-head record points the other way. In the last five meetings, Liverpool have one league win, a 1-0 victory on 31 August 2025, and Arsenal have none. The other league meetings ended 2-2 in May 2025 and October 2024, and 0-0 in January 2026. Liverpool also won a 2-1 friendly in July 2024, which is not a league game.

Our pick

Our pick is Arsenal to win or draw, with medium confidence. The form and table numbers favour Arsenal: more points, a stronger away record and a better defensive return. The two sides' games have averaged 2.31 goals, which suggests a contest that is more likely to be open than cagey.

The head-to-head gives Liverpool the edge in the rivalry, and their home record is not a clear advantage. That is why confidence is medium rather than high. The numbers suggest a lean, not a certainty.
