Liverpool have regained momentum and have a favourable recent record at Anfield, but their league home form has been uneven. Arsenal are stronger in the table and defensively, though the absences of Saka and Saliba weaken both attack and defence. The market leans toward the visitors, while a draw remains a serious possibility.
Liverpool have only one league home win this season and have struggled to recover after falling behind.
Arsenal will be without Saka and Saliba, weakening their wide threat and centre-back stability.

The market and part of the data lean slightly toward Arsenal: 7 wins and 1 loss in their last 8 games, the best defence in the league with only 5 goals conceded, while Liverpool's defensive rotation is restricted by injuries and Arsenal's recent record at Anfield has been strongly in their favour. However, Liverpool are on a home winning streak and Isak is in strong form, so a draw or a Liverpool result cannot be ruled out. The match is expected to be tight and low-scoring.
Liverpool's right-back and defensive rotation are limited by injuries, with Arnold likely to continue playing out of position; a quick breakdown in defence could disrupt the match.
Arsenal are missing Saka, Saliba and Dowman, so their wide attacking options and central defence rotation are thin, which could affect both attacking efficiency and defensive stability.
The market favours Arsenal while part of the data points to Liverpool or a draw; the directional split means the result carries high volatility.

Liverpool have had the upper hand against Arsenal at Anfield recently and their cup win lifted confidence, but thin attacking and right-side options hurt rotation. Arsenal are the league's best defensively and solid away, yet Saka and Saliba are missing and they struggle at Anfield, so a low-scoring draw looks most likely.
Odds lean slightly toward Arsenal, while Anfield history, injuries and morale point more to Liverpool or a draw.
Key absences make both sides fragile; an early goal or one set-piece could change everything.

Liverpool's recent strong form with 7 wins in 8 games and key scorers, combined with the Anfield factor, gives them the edge over Arsenal who struggle at this venue historically despite good defense.

Arsenal have conceded only five goals in eight league games, the meanest defence in the division, and have won three of four away, but Saliba and Saka are both missing. Liverpool have scored just four in four at home, yet Isak's six-goal form and a 14-year league unbeaten home record against Arsenal keep them in it. The visitors shade it, with a 1-1 stalemate a live danger.
Liverpool are without both first-choice right-backs, Frimpong and Bradley, forcing emergency cover that Arsenal's rotations can target.
Arsenal lose Saliba and Saka, weakening their defensive structure and wide creation, and a midweek cup exit on penalties may have shaken confidence.
Both sides have kept league games low-scoring all season; an early stalemate could easily turn this into a tight draw.
