Arsenal Won This Repeat Fixture 3-1 Last Season

Despite losing to Liverpool in the FA Cup last season, in the league it was Arsenal that had the bragging rights.

Getting all three points in this repeat fixture at the Emirates 3-1 and also drawing at Anfield 1-1.

The 3-1 win back in February came thanks to an early goal from Bukayo Saka and even though a Gabriel own-goal levelled things up at the break, the Gunners powered away in the second half thanks to Martinello and Trossard strikes.

However, even though Arsenal took four points off Liverpool in the league last season – it’s worth noting the Reds have by-far the better overall head-to-head record if we go back beyond the 2023/24 campaign (more on that below).

Arsenal vs Liverpool Recent Premier League Head-to-Heads

Liverpool Have Only Lost Twice Against Arsenal Since 2020 (All comps)

As mentioned, Liverpool have the best overall head-to-head record over Arsenal in the league – if you look back over the last four seasons.

Yes, Arsenal might be turning the tide here – based on last season’s results. However, since 2020 Liverpool fans will tell you they’ve only lost twice in the last 13 to the Gunners in the league.

The better news for the North Londoners though is that both those wins over Liverpool came at home and in this very fixture on Sunday.

In addition to last season’s 3-1 win, Arsenal beat Liverpool at home the season before 3-2.

Arsenal vs Liverpool F.C. Stats Hint At Plenty Of Goals

The other standout Arsenal vs Liverpool F.C. stat is that there has generally been a lot of goals when these sides meet.

Which is great news for the neutrals watching.

This is backed up with 16 of the last 20 league meetings seeing OVER 2.5 GOALS – which equates to an 80% return.

There have also been plenty of goals in this repeat fixture – with four of the last five also seeing 3+ goals scored.

Liverpool Have Failed To Score Against Arsenal JUST TWICE In The Last 23 Meetings

Look away Arsenal fans, as the stats are also telling us that Liverpool rarely play the Gunners without scoring.

The Merseysiders have found the back of the net in a staggering 21 of their last 23 games vs Arsenal in all competitions.

The two times they didn’t came in 0-0 draws in the EFL Cup.

Last Season’s Repeat Fixture Saw A RED Card

This matchup last season also had a late red card in – when Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konte got his marching orders in the 88th minute.

Therefore, there might be some boil-over with this if you like wagering on the cards with the best UK betting sites.

Prior to this red, you have to go back to a 2022 EFL Cup game to find the last sending off – Thomas Partey.

Bukayo Saka (if fit) Has A Good Scoring Record In This Fixture

Finally, a lot has been written in the build-up to Sunday’s game about the fitness of Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka.

Yes, some of this might be the old classic ‘mind games’, so we’ll have to await the match team news to see.

However, Liverpool fans will be hoping there is some truth in the stories as Saka has done well when playing Liverpool in recent seasons.

The England man has netted three times in the last two head-to-heads played at the Emirates. Getting one last season and a brace in the campaign before.
