Brendan Rodgers suggested that his young star could replicate the Chile international up front this week, and Al Hain-Cole expects those two to steal the headlines on Sunday
Having been compared to Alexis Sanchez by his manager after a two-goal haul at Bournemouth in midweek, Raheem Sterling will have the chance to come face-to-face with the real thing when Arsenal visit Anfield on Sunday.The 20-year-old winger has been recast in a central role by Brendan Rodgers and offers strong potential value at 9/4 (3.25) with bet365 to find the net against a team he put two past in this fixture last season, or15/2 (8.50) to open the scoring
However, Sterling still has a way to go to match Alexis’ 10 goals in his last 12 games for club and country, and the Chilean is unsurprisingly the 7/5 (2.40) favourite to score anytime, and 5/1 (6.00) to break the deadlock.
Should Alexis fail to fire, then Arsene Wenger can also call upon the attacking talents of Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud, who are priced at 8/5 (2.60) to hit the back of the net.
In contrast, the Reds are without both Daniel Sturridge and the misfiring Mario Balotelli through injury and suspension respectively, putting more onus on goals from midfield.
Set to play in behind Sterling, Philippe Coutinho 3/1 (4.00) and Adam Lallana 11/4 (3.75) are both more than capable of grabbing a goal, while Lazar Markovic 11/4 (3.75) will be in full confidence after opening his account for the club on Wednesday
Having come to the fore time and again for his club in the past, Steven Gerrard can never be ignored in the goalscorer stakes, particularly at 3/1 (4.00) anytime odds.
With three in his last two, Santi Cazorla’s return to form in front of goal has come at just the right time for the Gunners, and the Spaniard is a strong option at 3/1 (4.00) to add to his two previous strikes against this opposition.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was on the scoresheet the last time these teams met, and is also worth considering at 15/4 (4.75) this time out
