The Citizen (Gauteng)

Jonty’s picks

-

Arsenal play Liverpool in an English Premier League battle today, in a game that has produced a bucketful of goals in recent years. Liverpool, indeed, have banged in 17 goals in their last five league meetings with Arsenal, and while the Gunners have hit 10, they haven’t managed a single win over Juergen Klopp’s side.

Unai Emery is doing well after a shaky start to the season. Losses to Manchester City and Chelsea were followed by seven Premier League wins in a row, though that was ended with a 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace last weekend. The defeats to City and Chelsea, meanwhile, continued the poor record that Arsenal have of late against other English powerhouse­s. Doubts also still remain over their defence, with 13 goals conceded in 10 matches so far, more than anyone else in the top six.

Arsenal have home advantage at the Emirates, but I expect Liverpool to take all three points today. Pool Name - S6 V3 P2 M1: Cardiff City v Leicester City. An away win for the Foxes. TIP: Leicester win = 3 M2: Everton v Brighton & Hove Albion. Toffees on top. TIP: Everton win = 1 M3: Newcastle United v Watford. Spoils shared. TIP: Draw = 2 M4: West Ham United v Burnley. Hammer time. TIP: West Ham win = 1 M5: Arsenal v Liverpool . Previewed above. TIP: Liverpool win = 3 M6: Wolves v Spurs. Spurs success.

TIP: Tottenham win =3
