Seems like this one will hopefully be a goal fest. Is betting that this game will go over 2.5 goals not a bad bet?

OVER 2.5 goals is not a good bet, IMO. Games between the top 4 Premier League sides are usually tight games. this fixture last year was a 0-1 win for Arsenal.

Arsenal @ Liverpool last week was a 1-1 Draw and I expect the same type of game here with a final score of either 1-0, 0-1, 0-0 or 1-1.

I have to agree with MM here. It seems in the EPL those matches that should be a goal fest never live up to the hype. The top tier teams that have such offensive output have that party because of the defense they present. When you are defensively sound in the back it trickles forward. These matches always seem to be a let down when it comes to scoring. I'm thinking exact score 1-1.

i think there's a 50-50 chance of this going o/u, and both teams have almost an equal chance to win the match.

What MM and dingo said is very true, you do see the top teams grinding out 1-0 wins and 1-1 draws against each other often. I predict either a 1-1 draw or a win by either team by a single goal. 2-1 and 1-2 are pretty possible scorelines.

appreciate the responses

I guess it would be much more likely to go over if it was say Man United versus a much 'lower' team.
