Arsenal vs Liverpool score prediction
Arsenal faced Liverpool four times across the Premier League and Carabao Cup last season, failing to score a single goal in six hours of competitive football. However, boasting the transformative arrival of Gabriel Jesus in a team brimming with confidence, Liverpool are unlikely to be the first side to shut Arsenal out this season.
Going the other way, Arsenal have been susceptible to swift transitions this season, the likes of which Liverpool regularly convert against the Gunners - the Merseyside outfit have scored in 13 consecutive Premier League matches against their upcoming hosts.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool
