Liverpool vs Arsenal: Kick-off Nepal Time, Match Preview & Prediction

Liverpool return to Anfield this weekend to host rivals Arsenal in what could be a crucial clash for the Gunners. Arsenal are still fighting to secure a Champions League place for next season, but they’ve struggled recently — losing three matches in a row, including both legs of their Champions League semifinal against PSG and a disappointing home defeat to Bournemouth. They also drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace before that run

Liverpool, meanwhile, are out of contention for any silverware but will want to bounce back after last week’s 3-1 defeat to Chelsea. Manager Arne Slot is expected to field a stronger starting XI this time after rotating the squad in that loss.
