Gor mahia and Arsenal's number one fan Raila Odinga on Wednesday evening predicted Arsenal will score at least two goals against rivals Liverpool in the English Premier League match set to be played at the Emirates Stadium from 11.15 pm East African Time.

Odinga will be at the Emirates Stadium in London tonight to watch live the English Premier League top four clash.

While addressing the media at the Chatham House, Raila said that Liverpool, who are sitting at the second position in the EPL table is a good team but will lose tonight.

“Tonight we play Liverpool. I know Liverpool are closely trailing and watching leaders Manchester City but it will be a different story at Emirates. Arsenal will score at least two goals against Liverpool, but I'm not sure about Liverpool goal against Arsenal,” said the ODM leader.

Odinga, an ardent Arsenal fan, is on a five day working trip in the United Kingdom. 

He said he previously supported Man United and Liverpool but ditched the two clubs for Arsenal because of Arsene Wenger’s style of play.

 “Previously, I was a Manchester United fan before I migrated to Liverpool temporarily. However, I fell in love with Arsenal Wenger’s 'Invincibles' season of 2004 and since then I am a diehard Arsenal fan. The only team to win the league unbeaten,” said Odinga.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader takes a break from the political campaigns after he was crowned the Azimio la Umoja presidential candidate.

The trip comes at a time Kenya is banned by Fifa from international football in the wake of a fallout between the government, Football Kenya Federation and the international football body.

A passionate fan of the Kenya national football team and record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia, Odinga, will be hoping Arsenal beat Liverpool as the Gunners continue to push for a top four finish.

Arsenal are currently fourth in the log on 51 points 19 points behind leaders Manchester City and 15 points behind their Wednesday night rivals Liverpool.

The Gunners will be hoping to win at home against the Merseyside outfit and build a gap between them and rivals Manchester United who are one point behind them.

Arsenal are gunning to qualify for the UEFA Champions League after four seasons in the cold.

Liverpool too, are in a rich vein of form following a league win over Brighton at the weekend, plus an aggregate triumph against Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
