Liverpool and Arsenal have drawn in their last two Premier League meetings.
The Premier League has already thrown up some classic fixtures so far this season and there’s more on the way this weekend. Liverpool are set to host Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday, with the two rivals meeting in what could end up being one of this season’s defining ties.
Arsenal finished in second place once again last season, marking their third consecutive year as runners-up. They finished 10 points behind Liverpool, who claimed a historic 20th league title.
Arne Slot’s men are now fighting to defend their crown, while Mikel Arteta will be hoping his team can finally go that one step further. Both sides have kicked off the current campaign in solid form, earning two wins from two with only goal difference separating them at this early stage.
Liverpool snatched all three points in their clash against Newcastle United on Monday through a last-minute goal from then 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha. Arsenal demolished newly promoted Leeds 5-0 in their weekend tie, with two goals coming from new signing Viktor Gyökeres.
Liverpool and Arsenal will now meet on Sunday, August 31, with kick-off scheduled for 4.30pm. The match will be broadcast exclusively on Sky Sports, which is offering a discounted TV package to football fans.

Ahead of the 2025/26 season, Sky slashed the price of its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle from £49 to £35, saving new customers £336 and offering more than 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL and more. Fans taking advantage of the deal can watch Sky Sports straight away on the Sky Go app after completing their order.
It comes as Sky has upped its top flight coverage from 128 to at least 215 games this season, which it says is 80% of all televised matches. As well as all this football action, the Sky package provides access to more than 100 channels such as Sky Atlantic, alongside free Netflix and Discovery+ subscriptions.
Sky will also reduce a Sky Sports subscription from £33 to £19 when ordered with a Sky Glass Air or Sky Glass Gen 2 smart TV, which start at £6 and £14 respectively when spreading the cost. It comes amid Virgin Media’s rival Summer of Sports sale, which has seen prices plummet across several TV, Sky Sports and fibre broadband plans.

Until September 2, prices start at £54.99, down from £65.99, for the plans including the Bigger Combo bundle + Sports, which includes more than 200 TV channels, including eight from Sky Sports. One caveat to Sky and Virgin’s contracts is that bills will rise each April.
Earlier this year, Sky increased its TV and broadband prices by 6.2%, while Virgin has already confirmed its Bigger Combo bundle + Sports will rise to £58.49 from April 2026 and £61.99 from April 2027. However, Sky is one of the few providers which allows its customers to cancel their contract if a price hike is announced, offering the flexibility to shop around for a new and better deal.
