Champions Liverpool take on Arsenal for the second time this season. Both sides have won their first two league fixtures and progressed in the EFL Cup and this looks a game that could have a few goals in it. The two teams drew 1-1 in the Community Shield, before Arsenal won on penalties. That was their second straight win over Liverpool after beating them in the final weeks of last season. However, there's no need to think that Arsenal have the edge over Liverpool. The league win was achieved at a time when Liverpool had already won the title and played at the Emirates. The Community Shield is just an overblown friendly and means little at all in terms of who win titles. One thing seems assured when these two sides meet and that's goals being scored. Ten of the last 11 have seen both teams get on the scoresheet and that's a bet worth making for this game with both teams in good scoring form.

Liverpool have so far beaten Leeds United at home and Chelsea away. A reserve side then hammered Lincoln City 7-2 in the EFL Cup. The Reds continue to be dominant at home in the Premier League. 26 of the last 27 home games in this league have been won with only Burnley coming away with a point. They last lost to Arsenal at home in 2012 with 23 goals scored against the Gunners in the last six home league and cup games. Salah and Mane are already in good scoring form, so this will be a massive test for Arsenal's defence. The Gunners have won their first two games with victories over Fulham and West Ham. They won at Leicester in the EFL Cup but need to put up a good show at Anfield to convince their fans they can have a successful season. Away league form for Arsenal with only four away wins last term. A bet on Liverpool to win and both teams to score is the suggested wager.
