Anfield's SAS Combo Can Dent Gunners Title Bid

Arsenal head to Merseyside to prove their title credentials this Saturday and the bookies think they will come unstuck. Liverpool are nothing longer than 23/20 (WilliamHill) to take the points with the Gunners at 5/2 (BetVictor) to claim a priceless victory.

The Londoners’ biggest task will be stopping the formidable ‘SAS’ partnership of Suarez and Sturridge. Brendan Rodgers’ frontmen are the main reason why the Reds have taken 31 points from a possible 36 in front of their own fans.

Arsene Wenger’s boys have the joint best away record in the top flight but it’s worth noting that it’s February and they’ve only travelled to two of the other top seven sides in the top flight - they lost both those clashes.

It’s with that in mind that I have to side with the Scousers here. Liverpool to win with both teams to score looks like the optimum bet at market-leading odds of 14/5 with Coral. Arsenal have only failed to score in one of 12 away fixtures while the hosts can’t be relied on for clean sheets.
