Liverpool vs Arsenal Prediction 11 May 2025
📣 Can Liverpool refocus for a routine Premier League fixture after clinching the title? That wasn't the case in their clash with Chelsea. However, it's unlikely anyone will criticize the players who have already achieved their main goal for the season. Arsenal are the main chasers in the standings. Their response to being knocked out of the Champions League will be intriguing. Thus, there is no clear favorite in the match set to take place at Anfield. We'll explore various scenarios to make an insightful prediction.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the span of 45 head-to-head encounters, the most common result has been a draw, occurring 38 percent of the time. Liverpool hold a slight edge with 15 wins to Arsenal's 13 losses. In the first round of the current season, the rivals ended in a stalemate at the Emirates (2-2). Arsenal took the lead twice, but Liverpool clawed back with goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, both of whom recently signed contract extensions with the club.
In 5 of the last 6 meetings, both sides have found the back of the net. With both teams having already achieved their respective goals for the season, they might opt for an open game, possibly fielding some reserves. In such a scenario, a potential bet to consider is - both teams to score (Yes).
Head-to-head statistics Liverpool - Arsenal
Liverpool Team Overview
🔴 Liverpool have clinched the English Premier League title, suffering only two defeats throughout the season. They slipped up against Nottingham Forest and Fulham.

Match Results: Liverpool
Arsenal Team Overview
🔴 Arsenal have managed just one win in their last five league outings. During this stretch, they only managed to defeat Ipswich Town, scoring four unanswered goals. As a result, they've lost their shot at the title and haven't even secured second place in the standings. Currently, they lead Manchester City by just three points, which should be a crucial margin for the Gunners.
🔗 In the previous round, Arsenal dropped points again despite leading, setting a new personal low. Declan Rice put them ahead in the first half, but they conceded twice after the break to Bournemouth.
📌 However, Arsenal had a more significant match ahead against PSG in Paris. They lost the first leg of the Champions League semi-final. In the second leg, the Gunners created more scoring opportunities than their opponents. Yet, they nearly faced a rout as PSG missed a penalty, and Arsenal scored a consolation goal late on (1-2), bidding farewell to the tournament.

Latest news
Liverpool
📣 Liverpool's head coach Arne Slot sees no shame in the defeat to Chelsea: "A wise man once said that a won match brings nothing good, and I have to agree with him. The way we lost is, in my opinion, a positive takeaway... Look at how we responded when trailing 2-0-we came back and didn't give up."
📝 After 20 years with Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold has announced his departure from the club. He will continue his career at Real Madrid. "I dreamed of winning at home at Anfield. Don't let my departure overshadow the season-let's celebrate what the rest of the guys have achieved," said the England international following their title win. Nevertheless, Liverpool have already lined up a replacement in Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, although there has been no official announcement regarding the transfer yet.
❌ Liverpool have just one absentee ahead of their clash with Arsenal. Joe Gomez has played only 11 minutes in 2025, so he is not considered a first-team regular.
Arsenal
📣 Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta shared his thoughts on the trophy chase: “We are close. With the number of points we've accumulated over the last two seasons, we could have been Premier League champions twice. We understand that success is within reach. With such results, we are capable of winning trophies. We need to be a bit luckier or play even better. Again, with the performances we've had in the Champions League, there's a strong chance of winning it."
📢 Mikel Arteta confirmed that Arsenal will form a guard of honor for Liverpool: “They deserve it. They have been the best team. What their coaching staff has accomplished... They fully deserve it, it’s part of sportsmanship. When someone is better, it needs to be respected.”
❌ Arsenal have faced numerous injuries this season. Currently, Gabriel, Kai Havertz, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Gabriel Jesus are sidelined, all of whom could have been contenders for starting positions.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The appointed referee for the match is Anthony Taylor, who has officiated 29 Premier League games this season. Known for his leniency, Taylor has shown fewer than four yellow cards in 17 of his last 24 matches. On average, he hands out three cautions per game.
Both teams are entering the match with a trend of receiving few yellow cards. Liverpool have not received more than two cautions in 14 consecutive matches. Arsenal, on the other hand, have been limited to just one yellow card in 10 out of their last 11 Premier League games. Considering the referee's statistics, a bet on total yellow cards under 3.5 seems reasonable.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Liverpool have frequently found the net in the second half this season, often turning the tide or putting pressure on their opponents. Even as champions, they scored against Chelsea after the break. Such instances have occurred in 20 out of 22 matches at Anfield. Therefore, a potential bet is Liverpool to score in the second half.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Both teams are trending towards a high number of corners. Liverpool's last five home matches have seen at least 10 corners. Similarly, Arsenal's last five away games in the Premier League have followed suit. Thus, a bet on total corners over 9.5 appears well-founded.
Editor's Prediction
Liverpool's first match at Anfield as champions, and it's against their main rival throughout the season. The title may be secured, but this is still a crucial encounter, so the Reds shouldn't take it lightly. Arsenal are struggling both physically and mentally, with injuries leaving them with virtually no bench depth to bolster their attack. Thus, betting on a Liverpool victory seems like a reasonable prediction.
