Team Analysis
The FA Cup's third round presents a temporary pause to the Premier League title rivalry between Arsenal and Liverpool, as they face each other this Sunday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium.

Both managers, Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp, are anticipated to tweak their starting lineups for this FA Cup clash, especially Klopp, who has a crucial League Cup semifinal first leg against Fulham scheduled just three days after the trip to North London.

Liverpool enters the fixture with higher spirits following a 4-2 victory over Newcastle United in the previous Premier League encounter on Monday. The departure of Mohamed Salah to AFCON will impact Klopp's attacking rotation significantly in January.

Arsenal, on the other hand, enters the match without major absences due to AFCON or the Asian Cup this month. However, they grapple with significant form concerns, having suffered consecutive Premier League defeats to West Ham and Fulham in their last two outings. Mikel Arteta's side has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just twice in the last three games across competitions, including a 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield.

Odds Analysis
Motivated by recent Premier League setbacks, Arsenal is eager to secure a positive result. Favorable odds of 2.00 are offered for an Arsenal win on Sunday. Both teams boast formidable firepower in the final third, suggesting an open game with plenty of goals. Backing Over 2.5 goals FT at odds of 1.65 seems like a reasonable choice.

Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
