Liverpool FC head to Arsenal tomorrow in what should be a really exciting game no matter what side you’re on, and even if you’re not an either side. It could be high scoring, as the odds makers see this as evenly matched, despite the Reds destroying the Gunners in the most recent clash at Anfield.
This specific edition of Friday night football will be especially big for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who left the home side for the visitors this past summer transfer window. This will be his first back to the Emirates as a member of the opposition, so it will be very interesting to see what kind of reception he receives if/when he comes on.
We actually left him out of our starting XI prediction for what it’s worth. For the Arsenal starting XI prediction go to this link.
Buckle up, because this match should be fun, even despite both teams being already essentially out of the Premier League title race. It’s actually a huge match for top four implications.
