Premier League: Liverpool vs Arsenal August 31, 2025 Score prediction

Liverpool vs. Arsenal will play in the 3rd round of Premier League 2025/2026 season. The English League Liverpool vs. Arsenal will be played at Anfield. The game will kick off at 22:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 31, 2025. The competition for the title directly triggered a wonderful match this weekend. Anfield will be the hot stage for Liverpool against Arsenal this Saturday, with the two teams being popular candidates for the Premier League title this season. Liverpool is the defending champion, while Arsenal hopes to change his status as runner-up last season and become the champion.

Liverpool began the season with two consecutive victories, but its performance is still far from being stable. The victory against Bournemouth and Newcastle is more due to the impact of the offensive line than the stability of the defense. Anne Slott knew very well that the defense was still unstable.

's 3-2 victory at St James Park further confirmed this. Liverpool lost nearly a valuable point after losing two goals before the game, but the dramatic goal at Hugo Ekitic ensured the result. The young French striker scored three goals in two matches, which seemed to provide the answer to Liverpool after Roberto Firmino left the team.

At Arsenal, Mikel Arteta can be pleased with the team's perfect start. Two wins and no goals conceded, including a major victory at Old Trafford, demonstrated the team’s maturity. Victor Gicells immediately added color to the team with two goals against Leeds United, showing that Arsenal now has a more dangerous offensive choice.

However, bad news came from Bukayo Saka. The winger's main player is confirmed to be out for about a month due to injury, and Martin Odegao's chances of playing are gradually increasing, but there are still doubts. As an alternative, Arteta could cast Noni Maduk on the right and give Ebrech Ziye a chance at Anfield to make his debut.

Ane Slott himself faces difficulties. Jeremy Flynnon's injury made the right-back position vulnerable, although Connor Brady has recovered from the injury. The additional source of hope is Alex McAlister, who has the potential to recover in due time. By combining young players and new names, Liverpool still relies on tremendous energy and motivation to maintain their championship status.

Liverpool vs Arsenal score prediction

Anfield is once again predicted to be the decisive factor in this fierce showdown this weekend. Liverpool has an impressive record in away games against Arsenal, with the visiting team's last victory in the league going back more than a decade. This historical advantage undoubtedly injects confidence into Arnon Slott's team. Nevertheless, the steady pace Arsenal showed in the first two games of the season also provided a strong foundation for them to challenge Merseyside’s spell.

The competition is expected to be held at a high speed. Liverpool, currently relying on Hugo Ekitic, will try their goals with quick offense and conversions. Mikel Arteta, on the other hand, can rely on ball possession and Victor Giochies’ creativity to suppress the home team. Considering that both sides are of equal strength, the draw seems to be the most reasonable ending.

Predicted final score: Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal
