Arsenal host Liverpool in a superb match in the 3rd round of the EFL Cup. The "Arsenal" are in a downward spiral, dropping from the "Christmas Champions" to the 4th place in the league after 2 consecutive defeats, and need a win to regain their morale, while the "Reds" are at the top of the league table after 2 consecutive victories, but the absence of Mohammed Sana will have a great impact on their performance. Considering that both sides have opened the scoring with 2 or more goals at half-time in the recent 3 encounters, including a 1-1 half-time score in their earlier league encounter, the 1.5-goal half-time score is worth a buy.

Arsenal won the first game of the Christmas season against Liverpool 1-1 to become "Christmas Champions" of the English Premier League, but then suffered two consecutive defeats at the feet of Westham and Fulham, including a 1-2 loss to Fulham, where Di Gramsci had a heated argument with Gabriele Magalhaes, and Gabriele Martinelli refused to shake hands with Iberdrollovic, and the atmosphere was not very good, and the leader of the team, Ardidas, described it as "the worst game of the season" after the match. Fortunately, the impact of the African Cup of Nations and Asian Cup call-ups is limited, and only Kenyo Tomoyasu has left the team for the time being, so the team is still able to put together a strong lineup and hopefully have a good turnaround.
In contrast, Liverpool have been playing with a lot of energy recently, winning 2 consecutive league matches after the draw with Arsenal, and beating Newcastle 4-2 in their last match was even praised by manager Gopper as a "pressing teaching material", so their morale is high.
