Liverpool welcome Premier League champions Arsenal to Anfield on Sunday, with the Gunners looking to end a 13-match winless league run at the ground.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some Premier League odds and betting angles for Sunday’s fixture:

Liverpool return to Anfield following an impressive run of results across all competitions. Andoni Iraola’s side beat Brighton 2-0 last weekend before knocking Chelsea out of the Carabao Cup on penalties, the Reds have now avoided defeat in their last five competitive matches.
Defensive performances have improved significantly for Liverpool in recent weeks. The hosts have kept four clean sheets in their last six Premier League fixtures, having previously struggled at the back, they’ve also kept clean sheets in their last two meetings with Arsenal.
Liverpool have enjoyed plenty of success against Arsenal at Anfield, avoiding defeat in their last 13 home league meetings (W8, D5), William Hill offer 15/8 for the hosts to extend that impressive record with another victory and potentially put themselves in the early picture for a title charge.

Arsenal head to Merseyside following a disappointing Carabao Cup exit against League Two Fleetwood Town. Mikel Arteta’s side were knocked out on penalties after a 1-1 draw on Tuesday evening. However, league performances remain impressive, with the Gunners winning seven of their opening eight Premier League fixtures.
Once again,the visitors have been outstanding defensively, keeping five clean sheets in their opening eight league matches, that defensive strength has helped them collect 21 points and remain level with Manchester City at the top of the table.
Arsenal have won their last three Premier League fixtures, but remain winless inside 90 minutes at Anfield in their last sixteen visits across all competitions, 2012 the last time the Gunners picked up three points here, the visitors can be backed at 11/8 with William Hill to secure an important victory in their title defence.
