'It will be pretty cagey': Chris Sutton names favourite in key title race clash between Liverpool and Arsenal

Speaking to the BBC, Chris 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."

Sutton's prediction: Liverpool 2–0 Arsenal

Arsenal will go four points clear at the top of the Premier League table if they beat second-placed Liverpool away from home on Saturday.

Jurgen Klopp's men drew a blank against Man United at home last week and, with the Gunners having a better defence, they should still feel confident.
