⚽ Result: Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool (8 January 2026). A rare goalless draw between the sides, the first since August 2015. Liverpool hit the crossbar through Conor Bradley but failed to register a single shot on target. Arsenal stayed six points clear at the top.
Arsenal tightened their grip on the Premier League title race at the weekend with a dramatic 3-2 win over Bournemouth, a result made sweeter as Manchester City dropped points at home to Chelsea.
Gameweek 21 then delivered a standout fixture, with Arsenal hosting Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in a contest carrying a major bearing on the title race.
How the match odds lined up
Arsenal went into the game as strong favourites at 4/7 with Bet365 to win on home soil.
Liverpool were available at around 9/2, a price that carried plenty of value given their record in the fixture.
Why Arsenal carried the favourites tag
Even with 18 league games still to play, Arsenal’s six-point cushion over Manchester City and Aston Villa already looked significant.
Mikel Arteta’s side had lost only twice in the league all season, a level of consistency missing from previous title bids.
One of those defeats came at Anfield, a 1-0 loss many felt Arsenal deserved more from, giving the return an edge of redemption.
They had lost just one of their previous 17 league games, winning 13 and drawing three, while chasing a first title since 2004.
Liverpool’s case as value underdogs
Liverpool arrived on a nine-game unbeaten run in all competitions, though draws with Leeds and Fulham had raised questions after a late collapse at Craven Cottage.
Arne Slot’s side sat inside the top four but trailed third-placed Aston Villa by eight points, a surprising gap for the reigning champions.
History favoured them too, with Arsenal having conceded in each of their previous 20 league meetings with Liverpool, the last clean sheet in the fixture dating to a goalless draw in August 2015.
Liverpool were also chasing a league double over Arsenal for the first time since the 2021/22 season.
In the end the points were shared, and Arsenal’s clean sheet ended that long run while preserving their lead at the summit. More from the title race sits in the site’s football odds analysis, including the Brentford v Arsenal bet builder.
