Posted January 13th, 2022 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: EFL Cup

Market: Over 2.5 goals

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

Two Premier League giants who will be hoping to pick up an early advantage in midweek, Liverpool will host Arsenal in the first-leg of this season’s EFL Cup semi-final.

Starting with the hosts, managing to land an FA Cup boost and avoiding a real shock over the weekend, Liverpool will be hoping to gain some momentum in 2022. In their 20 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded 12 wins, six draws and two defeats, scoring 52 and conceding 18 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 42, the Reds currently sit third in the table and nine points adrift of defending champions Manchester City. As for their recent run of results, last seen over the weekend landing a 4-1 win against Shrewsbury on home soil, Liverpool have managed to win just a pair of their last five matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be noted, Thursday’s hosts have seen five of their previous six fixtures finish with over 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, crashing out of the FA Cup thanks to a shock defeat over the weekend, Arsenal will be hoping to refind their momentum in midweek. 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 find themselves sat fourth in the table after a real December purple patch. However, suffering a 1-0 loss away at Championship outfit Nottingham Forest, Arsenal have suffered back-to-back defeats across all formats. However, previously enjoying an eye-catching five-match winning run, it should be noted that six of their last seven matchups against Premier League opposition have finished with over 2.5 goals.
