Liverpool will try to bounce back from its first league loss and hold on to fourth place when it hosts Arsenal on Saturday in an English Premier League matchup at Anfield. Liverpool (6-4-1) suffered a disappointing 3-2 loss to West Ham to relinquish third place before the international break. Now it faces Arsenal (6-3-2), which is unbeaten in its last 10 in all competitions and sits fifth in the table, just two points behind Liverpool. But the Reds have lost just once to the Gunners in the past 11 meetings (7-3-1), and Liverpool is 8-5-0 in its last 13 games at home.

Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET in Liverpool, England. Liverpool is the -215 favorite (risk $215 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line in Caesars Sportsbook's latest Liverpool vs. Arsenal odds. Arsenal is the +550 underdog, a draw is priced at +360 and the over-under for total goals scored is set at 3.5.

Why you should back Liverpool

The Reds will be fired up to bounce back after stewing over their first league loss for almost two full weeks. They have the offensive firepower to bury Arsenal, as they have a league-high 31 goals while Arsenal has scored just 13. Mohamed Salah has been the best player in the Premier League the first three months, putting up a league-high 10 goals and sharing the lead with seven assists. He is joined in the Reds attack by Sadio Mane (six goals) and Diogo Jota (four), and wing back Trent Alexander-Arnold (four assists) peppers the box with crosses.

Liverpool has a 33-16 goal advantage in the 11 meetings during their dominant run, including a 3-0 win in their last matchup, in April at the Emirates. Jota scored twice in that match and Salah added the other as the Reds outshot the Gunners 16-3. The Reds are second in the league in possession (61.2 percent), while Arsenal is 13th at 47.4. Liverpool also leads the league in shots (214) and shots on target (69) while allowing the third-fewest in both categories (111, 34). The Reds center-back pairing of Virgil Van Djik and Joel Matip is one of the best in the world. 

Why you should back Arsenal

The Gunners have been cruising since a very rocky start to the season that had fans questioning manager Mikel Arteta. They have scored in nine of their past 10 matches and face a Liverpool team that has yielded five goals in its last two. Emile Smith Rowe has scored in three of the past four games in all competitions, including a 2-0 win against Leeds that secured the Gunners a spot in the League Cup quarterfinals. Smith Rowe and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang share the team lead with four league goals, and they have combined for three assists.

Alexandre Lacazette and Bukayo Saka also can make plays in the attack. Lacazette had 13 goals last season while Saka had five and added three assists as an 18-year-old. Arsenal has allowed 13 goals this season, and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has saved 86.2 percent of his shots, the second-best mark in the EPL. He has five clean sheets in just eight starts, for a league-leading 62.5 clean sheet percentage. Saka and Smith Rowe both scored for England in a 10-0 win against San Marino on Monday, and Ramsdale got the clean sheet in his first start.
