'Still aren’t right' - Chris Sutton makes bold Arsenal vs Liverpool prediction

Liverpool have been warned why Arsenal will ‘cause them a lot of problems’ on Sunday.

The Reds take on the Gunners in the Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium this weekend. Liverpool will be looking to win their first top flight match since the dramatic victory over Newcastle at the end of August.

Jurgen Klopp’s side go into the match on the back of a 2-0 win over Rangers in the Champions League, while Arsenal saw off Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt 3-0 on Thursday night in the Europa League. However, Liverpool are without a win in their last two domestic fixtures.

It’s this form that has led to Chris Sutton predicting a heavy defeat for Liverpool. The Reds are in ninth place in the league table with 10 points, 11 adrift of Arsenal who are top of the table but have played a game more.

Sutton has predicted a 4-1 defeat for Liverpool on Sunday. The former Blackburn Rovers striker went on to explain why he thinks things “aren’t right” at Anfield.

“The way Arsenal went at Tottenham last weekend was impressive, and bodes well for this game too,” Sutton told BBC Sport.

“While the Gunners are playing well and are full of confidence, things still aren’t right at Liverpool as far as I can see.

“Jurgen Klopp’s side were very comfortable against Rangers in the Champions League on Tuesday but they weren’t tested defensively. Here, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus won’t give them a minute’s peace.

“I think Liverpool will score, even though they have not quite clicked yet this season, but Arsenal’s attacking talent are going to cause them a lot of problems at the other end. I’m going 4-1.”
