Liverpool gets long odds to overcome history and Arsenal this weekend

As Arsenal fights to keep its English Premier League title chances viable, Liverpool fights history when the two sides clash at the Emirates on Sunday.

JackpotFinder-approved online bookmakers Sportsbook.com, bet365 and Bodog have installed the Gunners as big favorites going into the weekend.

Despite Liverpool’s impressive win over Manchester City last week, the main story line for this match is history. In head-to-head play, Arsenal hasn’t lost at home to Liverpool since year 2000. And in the immediate short-term, Arsenal is red hot in defending its home turf: The team has allowed exactly one goal in the last seven Premier League matches they’ve hosted.

Those compelled one way or another by this particular statistic should check out Bodog’s „Both Teams to Score” proposition bet: Wagering on „yes” gets odds of 4/5 while „no” is 19/20.

In terms of individuals, Liverpool had best be watching Andrey Arshavin, who has netted five goals in just six shots against the Liverpudlians in British Premier League Play. At bet365, Arshavin has a line of 7/4 in the ever-popular „Goalscorer” proposition bet. Atop this table is Robin van Persie, who gets incredibly short odds of 10/11 to score in the match. (Bodog offers a much more bettor-friendly line of 6/5 on van Persie scoring.)
