Steven Gerrard and Martin Skrtel won’t play against the Gunners this Saturday, as they were both sent off in the loss against the Red Devils. Gerrard’s experience and leadership are unquestionably extremely important for Liverpool, even though he hasn’t played as much as he used to, but Martin Skrtel’s absence will probably have a bigger impact, given the fact that the Reds’ defense hasn’t conceded a single goal in the last 6 consecutive games away from Anfield. Daniel Sturridge is expected to be fit, following a hip injury, but he’ll probably start from the bench.

Prediction
With a win against Liverpool, Arsenal would be close to book a presence in the Champions League for the 18th consecutive year and would almost take the Reds out of that race. This is, traditionally, a very productive game in terms of goals and, with both teams looking for the three points, we should expect that outcome in this one (Over 2.5 – Bet365 odds: -139).

The Gunners have looked extremely confident in their last league games and Arséne Wenger has at his disposal a myriad of options on the offensive side of the ball, which is something that his counterpart has been struggling with throughout the season. That aspect alone could definitely prove to be the key factor in this match-up.

Completely focused on achieving second place and going against a team that will be missing some important players, Arsenal will probably come out on top and secure the three points.
