Watch the clash Arsenal vs. Liverpool - prediction, lineups

Arsenal and Liverpool promises to be a significant fixture in the English Premier League, attracting considerable interest from fans and analysts alike. Both teams have exhibited strong form in recent matches, setting the stage for a competitive encounter. According to Peters and Pacheco (2022), machine learning techniques can be employed to analyze player statistics and predict match outcomes. Although their findings suggest that lineups do not significantly enhance predictive accuracy, understanding each team's current form and historical performance can still provide valuable insights into potential results.

Bournemouth last time out. That defeat meant Arsenal failed to hit the landmark of 2,000 top-flight league wins, something they could achieve this weekend with victory.

They bounced back with a slightly unconvincing 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday but are facing the prospect of losing back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since December 2023.

Mikel Arteta’s side in 2024; prior to their trip to Bournemouth, Arsenal had lost just one of their first 25 matches in the competition this calendar year (21 wins, 3 draws).

Martin Odegaard, Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu are guaranteed absentees, while Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is "very, very uncertain" on the availability of Saka, Calafiori and Jurrien Timber.

Saka has been missing since the international break with a hamstring problem, while Timber was injured in the Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain at the start of October. Calafiori picked up a knee issue midweek against Shakhtar Donetsk and could miss out.

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Liverpool

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-3-3): Raya; White, Gabriel, Kiwior, Zinchenko; Partey, Rice, Trossard; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Raya; Timber, White, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Merino, Partey, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Nunez

In terms of predicted lineups, both teams are expected to field their strongest players, with Arsenal's attacking prowess likely countered by Liverpool's robust defense. Strategic decisions regarding player positions will play a crucial role in determining the match outcome. For instance, utilizing data on players' performances under pressure may influence key tactical choices. Ultimately, while predictions remain speculative, analyzing team dynamics offers a comprehensive framework for understanding this high-stakes encounter.
