Newly-crowned Premier League champions Liverpool will welcome Arsenal to Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Arne Slot’s side wrapped up a record-equalling 20th top-flight English title with a 5-1 trouncing of Tottenham a fortnight ago.
However, the Reds were possibly suffering from a title winning hangover when losing 3-1 away at Chelsea last Sunday.
Back at their Merseyside base this weekend, Liverpool will be keen to put on a show for their fans when second-placed Arsenal come to town.
The Gunners crashed out of the Champions League at PSG on Wednesday night, meaning that they will end the season without a trophy.
Finishing as runner-up in the Premier League is by no means guaranteed either, with Mikel Arteta’s men triumphing in just one of their last five top-flight tussles.
How the bookies view it: Reds to reign supreme
Liverpool – who have won 14 of their 17 Premier League home games this season – are even-money (1/1) favourites with Boylesports.
Three of Arsenal’s last four Premier League away games have ended all square and the same outcome on Sunday can be backed at 23/10 on Boylesports, while a Gunners victory has been chalked up at 13/5 with the same bookmaker.
Head to head: Reds' home record robust
Liverpool have avoided defeat in each of their last 14 home matches against Arsenal across all competitions, though each of the last two Premier League meetings at Anfield have seen the points shared.
That was also the case in this season’s reverse fixture, which ended 2-2. With very little at stake on Sunday afternoon, another game featuring BTTS and Over 2.5 Goals could stand a chance here at 10/11 on Boylesports.
Players to watch: Salah to put on a show?
Mohamed Salah ended his mini goal drought by scoring during Liverpool’s aforementioned title-clinching win over Tottenham two weeks ago. The Liverpool talisman is 5/6 (PaddyPower) to either score or assist on Sunday and that holds plenty of appeal.
Mikel Merino could spearhead Arsenal’s attack at Anfield on Sunday, making him worthy of consideration for a shot on target at 11/10 with PaddyPower.
Predicted line-ups
Liverpool will be without injured defender Joe Gomez, but apart from that they could have a clean bill of health.
Arsenal boss Arteta will again be unable to call upon the services of Gabriel, Jorginho, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota
Arsenal: Raya; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Calafiori; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Merino, Trossard
Anything else catch the eye?
Given that this game is essentially a dead rubber, I’m happy to propose a play on no card to be shown before the 33rd minute at 5/6 with Bet 365.
Both Liverpool and Arsenal have been amongst the best behaved sides in the division this season, with the pair averaging under two yellow cards per 90.
On top of that, referee Anthony Taylor has averaged a lowly 3.03 cards per game in the top flight this term.
