Read our statistical preview of Liverpool’s Barclays Women’s Super League meeting with Arsenal at St Helens Stadium on Sunday (2.30pm GMT).
This game is the Reds’ 200th in the WSL - the fifth club to reach that figure, after Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton and Manchester City.
This will be the 23rd WSL contest between Liverpool (four wins) and Arsenal (17 wins), with only the Gunners and Chelsea clashing more often in the competition.
In their two league encounters last season, the away team were the winners on each occasion (1-0 to Liverpool, 2-0 to Arsenal).
The Reds are aiming for their first ever point(s) in home WSL fixtures versus the Gunners.
There has been an average of 3.41 goals per game in WSL meetings between the clubs to date.
Gemma Bonner, Taylor Hinds and Olivia Smith are the only players to have started every WSL game for the Reds so far this season.
Liverpool midfielder Fuka Nagano has started 105 open-play sequences for her team in the Women’s Super League this season. Only five fellow midfielders have initiated more for their side in the competition in 2024-25.
Arsenal remain unbeaten under Renee Slegers, winning their last three league games.
Alessio Russo will be aiming to become the sixth different Gunners player to score in five consecutive WSL appearances, and the first since Beth Mead in May 2022.
The visitors have faced the fewest shots of any side in the WSL so far this term (72).
