Liverpool and Arsenal renew hostilities this afternoon in a huge Premier League clash at Anfield this afternoon.
The defending champions meet last season’s runners up on Merseyside with both sides boasting perfect records two games into the new campaign.
Already the battle lines are being drawn in the race for the title and while Chelsea are showing renewed promise with Manchester City hoping to be back amongst it, it could come down to these two again this season.
Arsenal have been rocked by injuries with Bukayo Saka sidelined for a month but in the arrival of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, they have a new weapon to unleash today.
Liverpool’s biggest arrival may still be to come as their pursuit of Alexander Isak heads into deadline day. But for today, they will turn to the man who has already bagged two in two appearances for his new club in Hugo Ekitike.
