The 2025/26 Premier League campaign is only two weeks old and we already have a titanic clash between last year's top two.
Liverpool have begun the defence of their title in chaotic fashion. After a 2-2 draw that resulted in a penalty shootout defeat to Crystal Palace in the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium, the Reds have thrown away two two-goal leads against Bournemouth and Newcastle United, before eventually winning both games late on, with 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha scoring a 100th-minute winner against the latter.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have had a calmer start to the campaign, with the Gunners beginning their season with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, before they then thrashed Leeds United 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium, with big-money signing Viktor Gyokeres notching a brace, while 15-year-old Max Dowman made his Premier League debut for the north Londoners.
Any game between these two is likely to be huge, but this one could be extra special. And the bookies are marking the occasion with three HUGE betting offers from some of the country's leading firms.
- Betfair are rivalling that with an offer to new customers of 50/1 odds on a goal being scored in the game.
- And just to round it out, Sky Bet are offering new customers 50/1 odds on Mohamed Salah to have a shot on target in the game.
Here's how you can take advantage of all three, as well as our full tips and predictions for this blockbuster!

Liverpool vs. Arsenal team news
- Dominik Szoboszlai is expected to remain at right-back this weekend, with Jeremie Frimpong now sidelined due to a hamstring injury and Conor Bradley inching his way back to full fitness.
- Florian Wirtz is yet to show his quality in the No. 10 position, but Arne Slot will rightly persist with that, while Rio Ngumoha will return to the bench.
- Arsenal have some crucial injury issues as both Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka limped off last weekend and the duo are both major doubts for the trip to Anfield.
- The Gunners also have a few other issues, such as Kai Havertz now sidelined for a while, but Viktor Gyokeres looks good to go after getting up and running last week.
