On January 1, Liverpool is facing against Leicester City in the first duel at Anfield Stadium for the new 2015.

Let’s start with the derby Southampton vs. Arsenal. If you have no idea how to bet on that match, then you should keep on reading. We have done everything needed to make it easy for you and have gathered much useful information, altogether with a trustworthy soccer forecast, which will facilitate you even more.  Here it is, presented in a brief:

Arsenal is going to visit the team of Southampton in their first match of the New Year 2015. The two teams are in a very similar situation, and powers will be completely leveled, according to our opinions. Arsenal and Southampton have equal points in the standings and are direct competitors to a place in the top four. Both teams overcame the crisis a month ago, but lately have stabilized. After a good start to the season ‘Saints’ had a 4-game losing streak. After that, however, they have won seven points from a possible nine, including a draw against Chelsea.

Arsenal had had a very heavy period in which many fans demanded the resignation of Arsene Wenger. After that, however, the team entered into a series of 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last seven matches in the League. One of those victories was just against the players of Southampton on ‘Emirats’. At ‘St. Mary’ stadium Arsenal did not have a single loss in the last four matches, but the last three of them finished in a draw.

Equality seems like the most likely outcome, and that time, as it is not a fatal result for both teams from a strategic point of view. However, the loss will mean a backlog of 3 points from a direct competitor, and so both teams will be too cautious, for sure.

Here is some info about the players from team of Arsenal who is going to play today:

Goalkeepers: Scesni, Ospina, Martinez,

Defenders: Gibbs, Debusi, Mertesacker, Chambers, Montreal, Bejerin
