In the last 10 matches, Liverpool have 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, 22 goals scored and 12 conceded. Arsenal have 6 wins and 4 losses, no draws; with 25 scored and 10 missed. Arsenal scores very often, just like Liverpool. The match promises to be very entertaining, for Arsenal this is the only tournament where they can catch the main trophy.

In terms of head-to-head, Arsenal beat Liverpool in regular time for the last time in July 2020, and before that they also managed to win on penalties in October 2020 in the League Cup. In the last 5 matches, Liverpool have 3 wins and Arsenal have 2 successful games, but on penalties.

It is important to consider that Liverpool is not quite the base, the absence of two key players: Salah and Mane, as well as Nabi Keita, who went to the national teams for the African Cup of Nations. Thiago, Phillips and Elliot have injuries that are in question for Origi. For Arsenal will not play: Party, Aubameyang, Pepe, El Nenni, who are also in the national teams; in question Jaka, Smith-Rowe, Tomiyasu and Edegor.

Bookmakers give 1.728 odds for Liverpool, 4.26 for a draw, 4.92 for Arsenal. Both goals can be claimed at 1.71; a logical bet on a goal in two halves - the odds are 1.59, but I subjectively believe in Liverpool's passage to the next stage - the odds are 1.52.

Forecast: Liverpool will pass Arsenal in the League Cup semi-finals - odds 1.52; with the risk of "both will score" - odds 1.71
