Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction 01.11.2026 | Premier League

Liverpool had a decent start under coach Iraola across competitions. However, there were some worrying signs, especially when we talk about their defense. Still, in the previous EPL game, they kept a clean sheet against the red-hot Brighton and then allowed one goal to Chelsea in the EFL Cup. But that goal against the Blues was from a penalty spot. So, the Reds are improving as the season progresses, and even though many football pundits do not put them in the same tier as Manchester City and Arsenal when it comes to the title chances, they are playing well. A win here would massively change how people view this team. 

Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley, and Hugo Ekitike are all sidelined with their injuries, while Victor Munoz and, most importantly, Dominik Szoboszlai are listed as questionable. According to coach Iraola, Szoboszlai is training individually and needs more time to recover. If we believe the coach, that practically means he is out of the Arsenal game. 

Arsenal came into the season as a pretty considerable favorite for the Premier League title, and that hasn't changed. The Gunners are tied with Manchester City for first place in the EPL with 21 points from eight rounds. The Gunners are equally as dominant defensively as last season, and that still remains their main strength. But on offense, they have shown some weaknesses, though they're finding ways to score. 

In the previous EFL Cup game, Arsenal were shocked by Fleetwood as they got eliminated after the penalty shootout. That is particularly worrisome given the fact that they did put out a pretty good squad. 

In the previous game against Fleetwood, Max Dowman received a red card and will be suspended. However, he is not an important part of the rotation, and that isn't a big deal. However, Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, and Christos Tzolis remain sidelined with their injuries. On top of that, Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice, and Chukwunonso Madueke are listed as questionable with minor injuries. But that trio will most likely be ready.
