Arsenal face Liverpool on Sunday in what ought to be the game of the weekend in the Premier League.

Tꦏhis should be a high-quality contest between two top te🔯ams who are pushing to win the Premier League title this season.

This is a game that could go either way. Graham Potter has tipped this one to be a draw, while Gary Neville reckons Arsenal will beat Liverpool.

Peter Crouch has now shared his predicti🎃on ꦰfor this game on his podcast, and he struggled to pick a winner here.

However, Crouch ultimately♏ did make a prediction, and he tipped his former club to come out oღn top.

Peter Crouch tips Liverpool to beat Arsenal

Cr🔥ouch shared his verdict on who will win this game.

Crouch says that this will be a cagey affair, but due to the injuries to William Saliba and Riccardo Calafiori, he thinks Liverpool couldౠ nick a result here, picking the Reds to win 2-1.

“There has been draws in this game, right? So, two of the last three meetiꦿngs have forever been draws. obviously, they’re both battling out for the title,” Crouch said.

I think it might be cagey. I think, yꦫou know, both defences are like, I know the🌱y’re missing Saliba, Calafiori, Arsenal.

“So, they have got a few injury doubts. So, Liverpool could nick it. I’m leaning towards a draw, but I’m going to back Liverpool to wi෴n, 2-1.”

Arsenal vs Liverpool recent results

As Crouch says, the games between these two s൲ides have been very tight as of late, and that is reflected in the recent results.

Indeed, the formbook isn’t much help ꧅when you’re trying to predict a winner here.

Liverpool have won five of the last 10 meetings between these two sides, which does bode well for the Reds, but they have won just one of their last five matches against Arsenal.

These two sides are very well-matched, but, as Crouch says, the injuries in Arsena💃l’s defence could decide this game.

It’s not only defensive injuries that are important here. Martin Odegaard is also si♊delined, while Bukayo Saka is a serious doubt head🐷ing into this match as well.

Arsenal have home advantage this weekend, so that should be tไaken into account, but given how Liverpool have played as of late, it’s fair to say the Reds are narrow favourites heading into this one.
