STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Thurs: Arsenal v Liverpool

It’s been a thrilling midweek of Premier League action, and the headline fixture is still to come, with league leaders Arsenal taking on Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night, writes JOE CITRONE.

With Manchester City dropping more points in their game on Wednesday, held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Brighton, the opportunity is there for the Gunners to extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points.

Liverpool is never an easy assignment, but Mikel Arteta will be confident that, with his side on a five-match winning streak in the Premier League, his side will be able to avenge that 1-0 defeat from earlier in the season.

Liverpool thought they were headed for a late win in their most recent outing against Fulham, but were denied that through an unbelievable strike from Harrison Reed in the dying seconds.

That made it two draws in a row for Liverpool, who will now be looking to get back to winning ways when they lock horns with Arsenal on Thursday night.

In terms of bets here, I like the look of both teams scoring here with Arsenal and Liverpool possessing plenty of attacking quality. At 5/2 with starsports.bet, a home win and both teams to score looks like the way to go.
