Carabao Cup: 8th Finals between Liverpool and Arsenal

It's no vacation for neither Liverpool nor Arsenal as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Liverpool form and stats

Liverpool participated in Carabao Cup the last season, where they reached the 3rd Round and lost against Chelsea.

Liverpool have played 5 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-0-0 (wins-draws-losses). Liverpool has a nice streak going on as they have played 27 consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Manchester City defeat 299 days ago. Liverpool has won so many consecutive home games (twelve in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Anfield. We remember; it was Leicester City.

Liverpool's last game was hosting Tottenham Hotspur and winning 2-1. In the game before, an away victory in the Champions League match versus Genk with a 4-1 scoreline.

Liverpool are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Aston Villa awaits in three days.

Liverpool are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Anfield in their league games, having scored an impressive 14 goals in 5 attempts. Liverpool's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 5 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Arsenal form and stats

They also participated in Carabao Cup last season. They were stopped by Tottenham Hotspur in the Quarter-finals.

1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Arsenal playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.

Arsenal delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Crystal Palace in their previous match; a Premier League game. Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Vitoria Guimaraes in the Europa League.

It looked so good for Arsenal vs Crystal Palace, but the job was not completed and two points were lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

Arsenal are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. From a total of five matches.

A new game in only three days for Arsenal, the Premier League home match versus Wolverhampton Wanderers. Busy days.

Arsenal are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 5 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Arsenal have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Liverpool 5 wins, 4 draws and Arsenal 1 victory. As for goals, 8 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 2 games had two or less.
