Chris Sutton has now predicted who he thinks will win this weekend between Liverpool and Arsenal in the Premier League headliner.

The Reds welcome the league leaders at Anfield in what could be one of the biggest matches this season in regards to the Premier League title race.

And speaking to BBC Sport, Sutton has predicted Liverpool to edge out Arsenal with a 2-1 win, with Jurgen Klopp’s side looking strong last night against West Ham in the League Cup.

Sutton said: “Arsenal will be bolder than Manchester United were at Anfield last week, but then Sheffield United would probably show more attacking intent than Erik ten Hag’s side did.

“I still think it will be pretty cagey because the Gunners are not as expansive as they were last season, but they still carry a threat. There is this argument that they are lacking a centre-forward, which I get, but they have shown they can get goals from all areas of their team.

“So, I think this will be tight, but Liverpool are at home and I just don’t see them drawing another blank. They only know one way to play, they will take the game to Arsenal – and I think they will edge it.”

Liverpool have everything needed to beat Arsenal on Saturday

Whilst Arsenal have had the week off, Liverpool showed last night at Anfield that they’re more than capable of taking on any club in the Premier League.

The Reds were electric against West Ham, with Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai, in particular, looking like they’ve finally recaptured their early-season form.

Indeed, Saturday’s fixture will be one of Liverpool’s biggest tests this season, with Arsenal showing that they are still worthy challengers for the Premier League title.

And a win for the Reds would be the clearest indicator yet that they mean business in the league this campaign, with Liverpool ready to go all the way to bring the title back to Merseyside.
