Paul Merson has offered his prediction for the upcoming Arsenal versus Liverpool clash in the Premier League, scheduled for Sunday, February 4, 2024.
Despite Arsenal's victory in this fixture last season, Liverpool have historically been successful in breaking down the Gunners' defense, having scored 108 goals against them, the only team to surpass the 100-goal mark.
Merson emphasizes the importance of a win for Arsenal to stay in the Premier League title race, ruling out the option of a draw. While he initially favored Arsenal's chances before Liverpool's impressive performance against Chelsea, he now believes the Reds' form makes them the favorites.
"This is once again a must-win game for Arsenal. If they lose, they are out of the Premier League title race and a draw is no good either, so they absolutely have to go for it," the pundit said on Sportskeeda.
"A draw isn't ideal for Arsenal, but I don't think Liverpool will lose too much sleep if they share the spoils away from home."
Paul Merson's prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool
