Liverpool vs Arsenal is the big talking point of the weekend, and Anfield will be loud on Sunday. Arsenal arrive in second place after winning seven of their first eight league games. Liverpool sit fourth after a 2-0 home win over Brighton last time out. Both coaches know a result here can shape the mood for weeks.
Preview: Liverpool vs Arsenal
Liverpool have looked better in recent weeks. They have taken three wins and a draw from their last five league games, and the only loss was the heavy 0-3 defeat at home to Manchester City. That night exposed some soft spots at the back. The Brighton game was different. Andoni Iraola’s side kept a clean sheet, passed with more purpose and finally gave the home crowd something to cheer.
The Merseyside football club have a few holes to fill. Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong are the two biggest misses. Without Frimpong, Ronald Araujo is expected to stay at right-back. In midfield, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch will carry the load. Florian Wirtz is the name to watch in the team news. He played a big part against Brighton but came off after getting treatment.
Arsenal have a different story. They have won four of their last five league matches, and their only loss was a 0-3 defeat at Brighton, which looks out of place in such a tidy run. Mikel Arteta’s men defend well, keep the ball for long spells and slow the game down when they want to.
They have also won three of their last four away league games, so Anfield will not scare them. Their back line has been hard to break down, and that calm approach has turned many tight games into wins. Liverpool will need patience to find a way through.
The Gunners have good news at the back and bad news in attack. Gabriel shook off a scare and not only finished the Everton game but also scored. Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Jurrien Timber all give Arteta choices in defence.
The problem is up front, where Bukayo Saka is out with a quad injury picked up against Bayern Munich. That forces Arteta to lean more on his creative players in the middle.

Prediction
If Liverpool win the second balls, they can create real danger. If Arsenal keep their shape, they will wait for mistakes and punish them. The hosts will likely start fast and push the Gunners back with the crowd behind them. The away side should settle after the first spell and find gaps as the home team tire. However, Iraola’s side look a little more complete to take all three points.
