LIV vs ARS Dream11 Prediction: A place in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup will be on the line when Liverpool welcome Arsenal to Anfield in a fourth round tie on Thursday night. These two sides meet for the second game in succession following Liverpool’s 3-1 win in the Premier League on Monday but there are likely to be several rotations in both sides for this League Cup clash. For Liverpool, Diogo Jota is likely to make his first start in a Reds shirt and will be keen to impress, while Shaqiri, Minamino and Jones will surely come back in after impressing against Lincoln last week. Arsenal also boast good depth in the attacking areas with the likes of Pepe and Nketiah competing for starting spots in the Premier League. Last season’s Carabao Cup contained the same fixture in the same round and it was a barnstorming 5-5 draw on that occasion, and while it is unlikely there will be quite so many goals on this occasion.

Who will win LIV vs ARS Today Match Prediction Football
This is a game that should have some really fine margins. With neither team playing their strongest eleven, this one should be a more closely-contested affair, unlike the match earlier this week. But, with Nicolas Pepe and Eddie Nketiah desperate to get their places back as regulars, Arsenal might just have the slightest of edges over Liverpool. We predict a 2-1 win for Arsenal in today match prediction.
