Liverpool and Arsenal will battle for three points in a Premier League round 36 clash on Sunday (May 11th). The game will be played at Anfield.
The home side will be looking to bounce back from the 3-1 defeat they suffered away to Chelsea last weekend. They went into the break behind to Enzo Fernandez's third-minute strike while Jarrod Quansah's 56th-minute own goal doubled their deficit. Virgil van Dijk pulled one back with a well-placed header in the 85th minute but Cole Palmer ended his long goal drought when he made it 3-1 in injury time.
Arsenal, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat away to PSG in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal tie on Wednesday. Fabian Ruiz broke the deadlock with a thunderous strike in the 27th minute and Achraf Hakimi doubled the Parisians' lead in the 72nd minute, three minutes after Vitinha missed a penalty. Bukayo Saka pulled one back for the Gunners in the 76th minute but they were unable to complete a comeback as they were eliminated 3-1 on aggregate.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Prediction
Liverpool are winless in the last five editions of this fixture. They sauntered to a 20th league title with barely any side posing any genuine challenge.
That was largely down to Arsenal's poor domestic campaign, with the Gunners failing to match their standards from the last two years. A run of just one win from their last five league games has left them in danger of potentailly missing out on the top five entirely, having been outside title challengers a few weeks ago.
We are backing the home side to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal
