CHRIS SUTTON NAS PREDICTED 1: 2 LOSS FOR LIVERPOOL.
My worry with Liverpool is exactly what Arne Slot talked about in pre-season. They're too defensively vulnerable.
They've already conceded four goals. Ibrahima Konate looks shot to pieces and has been all over the place in the last two games. He's been a great player in the past for Liverpool but right now he looks like a triallist.
If you're a Liverpool fan I guess the good thing is your side are still getting results. But if you want to win league titles you've got to be watertight and strong at the back, and I'm not so sure Liverpool are.
Liverpool got bullied by Newcastle. There's no reason why Arsenal can't bully them too. I've just got a sneaky feeling that Arsenal, bolstered by new signing Eberechi Eze, will exploit them.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2
Orlando's prediction: There will be a few goals in this one. 3-2
AI's prediction: 2-2
JONES KNOWS BEST HAS PREDICTED A DRAW.
Ask yourself this: would Arne Slot and Mikel Arteta take a draw right now? The answer is yes, isn't it? Categorically.
That makes the draw a huge runner from a betting point of view.
It's very unusual to have a fixture played before Gameweek four involving two title rivals. Looking at the past trends when looking at this type of fixture played early on in the season, draws are very common.
The last five fixtures in the Premier League before Gameweek four to be played between teams that finished that season in the top three all ended in stalemates - the most recent of which was Arsenal's 2-2 with Manchester City last season.
The draw here is the bet at 23/10 with Sky Bet. It's the bet of the weekend.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Back the draw (23/10 with Sky Bet)
