The Emirates Stadium will be lit tonight as fourth-placed Liverpool travel to face league leaders and title-hopefuls Arsenal in the Premier League, MySportDab reports.
The two teams meet at opposite ends of the form ladder this season, with Arsenal showing no sign of slowing down in their bid to end an almost two-decade wait for the Premier League title.
Meanwhile, Liverpool hovers on the thin line between hope and disappointment heading into this match, per their bid to retain the Premier League title. With a staggering 14-point gap from the Gunners, a defeat in this encounter could effectively smash their hopes of relaunching themselves into the title race. Can they pull this necessary upset against Arsenal?
Arsenal vs Liverpool form Analysis
Liverpool came out top the last time the two teams meet last season in the Premier League. Arsenal have have been winless in their last three encounters against the Premier League champions.
However, the Gunners head into this match as clear favourites this time around. They are unbeaten at the Emirates this season in all competitions and have already racked up eight points more than they did at this same stage last season.
Conversely, Liverpool are already 11 points behind where they were last term and will face a tough task ending the Gunners’ unbeaten run at home. Moreover, the Reds’ away form this season has contributed heavily to their downfall. They have managed just four wins in their last 10 away games, losing two and drawing four
Team AnalysisÂ
Arsenal have only three regular names on the injury list, namely, Riccardo Calafiori, Cristhian Mosquera, and young Max Dowman. Arteta has his squad at full-strength for this clash except the aforementioned injury blows.
Liverpool will miss Alexander Isak and Wataru Endo for the match. Clutch winger Mohamed Salah is on AFCON duties with the Egypt national team, while Hugo Ekitike, who missed the 2-2 draw against Fulham, remains a doubt for fitness issues.
Prediction
Arsenal are in strong stead to secure victory in this match. The Gunners have been on a terrific run this season and will look to double down on their effort with a statement victory over the Reds.
