Liverpool returned to winning ways this week. They defeated Bournemouth at their Dean Court in Copa League with 3:1, as two of the goals was from the young Rahiym Stirling, who played up front in red. The team of Brendan Rodgers performed well in the game and confirmed the improvement of their shape, especially in attack. Very active were been the forgotten Philippe Coutinho and Lazar Markovic and they are expected to be seen in the composition of Liverpool against Arsenal. Brendan Rodgers used the game system with 3 players in defence and maybe, against Arsenal his team will act the same. Dejan Lovren is with injury and is doubtful for the match. Also, Mario Balotelli continues to be a minor injury problem and is likely to remain on the bench. Daniel Sturridge and Glen Johnson are still with trauma and will play again next year.

Arsenal won the last round against Newcastle uncompromising in their Emirates and blew his rival with the result of 4:1. Good game after the injury foe the healed Olivier Giroud. Frenchman stayed on the pitch 72 minutes and scored 2 goals and also showed good understanding with Danny Welbeck in the attack. Arsene Wenger has huge problems in the middle. Out due to injuries are key midfielders Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta, Aaron Ramsey and Tomas Rosicky. Arsenal coaching staff is limited to three or four people in the midfield for the visit to Anfield. The good news for Wenger is the returning of Mathieu Debuchy after injury.

The good performance of midfielders at Liverpool inspires their fans to believe that there were be better results of the team in the next matches. Last campaign rise of Liverpool started exactly from one match against Arsenal at Anfield, when the home team won emphatically with 5:1. An Arsenal problem with injured players is huge and we think that Arsenal can`t win this visit. For this we rely on a success for Liverpool or a draw at odds of 1.55 at bet365.
