A trip down to London before Christmas sees another test for Rafa Benitez and his title chasing team as they travel to the Emirates to face an Arsenal side that will be looking for another victory over one of the big four. Liverpool on the other hand will be looking for their first win at Arsenal since the Gunners moved to their new stadium.
Football spread bettors will be interested to know that Arsenal have scored two goals in each of their games against big four sides this season. Sami Nasri grabbed two goals in their victory over Manchester United in early November whilst Robin Van Persie picked up a couple of goals at Stamford Bridge in their win over Chelsea.
Spread betting fans will also note that there hasn't been a nil-nil draw between the two sides since the 1998-99 season when both league meetings that season ended goalless. With all the attacking flair on display, it would seem unlikely that that would happen again.
What also seems unlikely, if the history books are to be believed, is a Liverpool win. The Reds haven't won in the league at Arsenal since 2000 when an early Henri Camara strike gave Liverpool all three points.
Since then Arsenal have notched up five wins and three draws when on home soil but they will be wary that they haven't beaten Liverpool in any of their last five meetings in all competitions. They could also be considered to be weak at the back after conceding a couple at home to Villa, three on the road at Man City and two away at Burnley in the League Cup.
On that basis Keane and Gerrard will be looking at this as a great opportunity to make another statement against the big four. After their 2-1 win over United and a 1-0 win away at Chelsea, Liverpool will go into the game with nothing to fear. Luckily for Liverpool whilst the goals have dried up at home somewhat recently, they have been in good scoring form away from Anfield, smashing in three at Blackburn and two at Bolton in their last two away league games. They have been in good form all season away from home; however their only defeat of the season did come away from home at Arsenal's North London rivals Tottenham.
The Gunners and Wenger in particular will know that his side have been more than capable of breaking down Benitez's defence in the past. In their last five games at home Wenger's team have stuck 13 goals past their Merseyside rivals and with the return of Adebayor and Van Persie seemingly making Arsenal a much more potent attacking force in recent weeks, they will be confident of getting another much needed result against one of the big four sides come Sunday evening. With both league games ending in 1-1 draws last season, parity could be on the cards again, however a win for either side could mean so much for them come the end of May..
This is the happy season for football spread betters who are all game for the biggest game of the season with sparks flying all around.
