Over 2.5 goals at Arsenal vs Liverpool 8/11 for Thursday’s EFL Cup semi-final

Posted January 5th, 2022 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: EFL Cup

Market: Over 2.5 goals

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

Two sides who are looking to pick up an early advantage in midweek, Arsenal will host Liverpool on Thursday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Arsenal might be coming off the back of a heartbreaking defeat last weekend, they should still find the mood in their camp at a high. In their 20 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, two draws and seven defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 25 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 35, the Gunners currently sit fourth in the table and holding a one-point buffer from dropping out of the Champions League spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with that last-gasp 2-1 loss at home against Manchester City, that result brought an end to Arsenal’s five-match winning run. Likewise, it should also be noted, Thursday’s hosts have seen seven of their last eight matchups across all formats finish with over 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, throwing away the lead over the weekend, Liverpool do have the feel of a side seeking some stability in the New Year. In their 20 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded 12 wins, six draws and two defeats, scoring 52 and conceding 28 in return. Managing to a points tally of 42, the Reds currently find themselves sat third in the table and 11 points adrift of defending champions Manchester City. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 2-2 draw against Chelsea on the road, Liverpool have won just one of their previous four matchups across all formats. Likewise, with Thursday’s guests seeing four of their last five fixtures finish with over 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here when both sides turn their attention back to EFL Cup duties.
