Gary Neville and Ian Wright now share the same opinion on the outcome of the Liverpool vs. Arsenal match.

Liverpool Set to Face Arsenal in Weekend Premier League Clash

Liverpool are preparing to face Arsenal in a crucial Premier League showdown this weekend. After securing wins against Bournemouth and Newcastle United in their opening fixtures, the Reds will be aiming for a third consecutive league victory. However, this upcoming match represents a major test for Jürgen Klopp’s side.

Arsenal, on the other hand, have started the season in fine form, having defeated Manchester United and Leeds United. With momentum on their side, the Gunners will be confident of taking points from their trip to Anfield.

Gary Neville’s Prediction for Liverpool vs Arsenal

Liverpool have shown defensive frailties early in the season, and that could be a concern against a well-drilled Arsenal team. Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville believes Arsenal will capitalize on Liverpool’s issues at set pieces, predicting a 2-1 win for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Speaking on The Overlap, Neville said: “I think Arsenal will score two from set pieces, Liverpool will score one and it will be 2-1 to Arsenal.”

Ian Wright shares a similar view, highlighting Liverpool’s defensive struggles in their recent matches. The Reds have conceded four goals across their games against Bournemouth and Newcastle, and Wright believes that such lapses could cost them against stronger opposition. The Arsenal legend also predicted a 2-1 victory for his former team.

“I think Liverpool will score one, but I’m going 2-1 to Arsenal,” Wright said. “If that [Liverpool] defence did what they did against Bournemouth, we can win the game.”

With both teams aiming to challenge for the Premier League title this season, this promises to be a high-stakes encounter.

Meanwhile, former Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher has offered a more optimistic view for the home side, backing the Reds to edge out Arsenal with a 2-1 win at Anfield.
