Gary Neville has made a bold prediction for the upcoming Liverpool vs Arsenal Premier League clash at Anfield, expecting Arsenal to win 2-1, with both goals coming from set-pieces. Speaking on the show The Overlap, Neville emphasized that the physicality Arsenal will bring—highlighting players like Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino, and a strong defensive line—will be key in exploiting Liverpool’s defensive weaknesses during dead-ball situations.
Neville described Sunday’s game as "land of the giants,” anticipating Arsenal will dominate aerially to score from set-pieces. This prediction comes amid both teams starting the season strongly, each winning their first two matches and sitting near the top of the table. Arsenal's perfect start includes victories over Manchester United and Leeds without conceding, while Liverpool has also secured maximum points but shown some defensive fragility and reliance on last-minute goals.
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright supported Neville’s view, agreeing on a 2-1 scoreline in Arsenal’s favor. Wright pointed to Liverpool’s vulnerability in defending transitions and wide areas as factors Arsenal could exploit to secure victory at Anfield.
Both clubs have bolstered their squads significantly ahead of the season, with Arsenal signing players like Martin Zubimendi, Eberechi Eze, and Viktor Gyokeres, and Liverpool strengthening with Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Jeremie Frimpong.
Given the competitive context—last season Liverpool won the Premier League comfortably while Arsenal finished as runners-up—this matchup is highly anticipated, with Neville and Wright suggesting Arsenal’s physical approach and set-piece proficiency could tip the balance in their favor.
