Chris Sutton predicts Arsenal vs Liverpool scoreline
Virgil van Dijk is wary of the threat Arsenal pose, as Liverpool will visit N5 amid the Gunners’ seven-game winning streak.
Taking to his BBC Sport column, Sutton honed in on Arsenal’s strength, describing Arteta’s squad as being ‘a different level to Liverpool’.
Sutton was adamant about one thing when previewing the match, as he shared his thoughts that Arsenal are the clear favourites to win.
“This is a bang-average Liverpool team this season, and Arsenal should be able to exploit all of their weaknesses,” Sutton wrote.
The pundit predicted a 2-0 scoreline in Arsenal’s favour, expecting the game to be ‘pretty comfortable’ for the hosts.
Arteta will certainly hope that Sutton is right again after correctly predicting the outcome of the Villa clash, with so much at stake.

As well as predicting a simple win for the Gunners, Sutton chose to comment on one of Arsenal’s biggest strengths: sharing the goals.

While Sutton believes that Arsenal are ‘carrying’ Viktor Gyokeres, he noted that Arteta’s side have a knack of scoring goals in ‘different ways’.
He was referring to where Arsenal’s goals are sourced from, as the North Londoners have been sharing the goals around this season.
