Liverpool vs Arsenal Prediction

I'm backing Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal on 1 November 2026 at 19:30. Liverpool have won their last two league games, beating Brentford 2-1 and Brighton 2-0, and I expect them to press forward at Anfield. But their injury list is long: Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Frimpong, Ekitike, and Munoz are all out. That depth loss matters when you're chasing momentum.

Arsenal arrive off a 2-0 win over Everton and they're hunting Manchester City at the top. I rate their away defence highly—they've conceded just 1.17 goals per road game on average. Calafiori is back from injury. Havertz returns to the starting XI after coming off the bench against Everton. Saka and Tzolis remain sidelined. This is a match where I see both sides score but neither breaks through decisively.

Form and H2H

I've looked at the last ten games for both teams. Liverpool at home: seven wins, two draws, one loss, averaging 2.10 goals for and 1.30 against. Arsenal away: seven wins, two draws, one loss, averaging 1.80 goals for and 0.90 against. I see a pattern of controlled attacking football from both sides, with Liverpool more prolific at Anfield but Arsenal tighter defensively on the road.

The head-to-head data didn't load for me, but I know this fixture carries weight. Over 1.5 goals has landed in 41 of the last 47 meetings between these two. That's my baseline for expecting goals in the match.

Best bet

I'm taking Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal at the correct score. My read is that Liverpool's attacking intent at home will create chances, but Arsenal's defensive discipline and their own threat on the break will keep them level. The injuries to Liverpool's midfield depth—especially Szoboszlai—mean they won't dominate possession the way they might in a healthier squad. Arsenal have the quality to exploit that and score, but I don't see them running away with it.

I need the exact 1xBet price for this bet to quote it to you, but the logic is sound: two strong sides, both capable of scoring, neither able to pull clear. That's a 1-1 game.

Odds to watch

I'm monitoring Both Teams to Score in this match. I expect goals at both ends given the attacking quality on display and the defensive vulnerabilities I've identified. Over 1.5 Goals is the market I'd lean into hardest—41 of 47 previous meetings have gone over that line, and I see no reason this one breaks that trend.

I'd also watch Under 2.5 Goals. I think this ends 1-1 or possibly 2-1 to either side, but I don't see a high-scoring affair. The defensive shape both teams bring to these derbies usually keeps the total modest. For the correct score itself, Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal is my main play.
