Final Prediction & Verdict
Liverpool will be determined to use this occasion to underline their dominance over the Premier League while celebrating with their fans. Arsenal, meanwhile, look emotionally drained after their European exit and stumble into this match on the back of three straight losses. Despite Mikel Arteta having a full squad available, his side will have to battle fatigue and low morale inside one of English football’s most intimidating arenas.

Arsenal’s vulnerable defence and recent downturn make a case for a high-scoring Liverpool win.

Expect goals, tension, and a showcase of the Premier League’s best.
