Arsenal vs Liverpool prediction and odds: Takumi Minamino backed to score and send Reds to Carabao Cup final

Liverpool prepare for the chance to meet Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final next month as they look to surpass Arsenal when they travel to the Emirates Stadium.

The Reds are the favourites at 11/10 with Grosvenor Sport while Arsenal are 5/2 and a draw is 5/2. Liverpool are favourite to go through too at 11/20 while the Gunners are 5/4.

Jurgen Klopp's side were unlucky to see the match finish 0-0 with the side having multiple chances to take the lead.

Of all, Diogo Jota will be the most frustrated as he was clean through on goal before Granit Xhaka denied the Portuguese forward the chance the give Liverpool the lead.

Despite going down to 10-men, Mikel Arteta's side manage to salvage a draw at Anfield and will be looking for home advantage to play its part in the second-leg decider.

However, given their form against Liverpool since Klopp arrived, it will be a tough task to achieve.
