Liverpool have gone 6 Premier League matches without beating Arsenal
Pundits have no doubt there will be plenty of goals at Anfield when Liverpool and Arsenal go head-to-head in the Premier League derby.
Liverpool started the new campaign with two consecutive wins against Bournemouth (4-2), Newcastle United (3-2) and they will likely continue to maintain their attacking style of play.
Arne Slot has the advantage of fielding his strongest possible line-up against Arsenal. Summer signing Hugo Ekitike will continue to lead the defending champions' attack.
The good news for Liverpool is that Mac Allister has returned to training and will come off the bench in this match. New signing Jeremie Frimpong is still recovering from injury but Conor Bradley is more than capable of taking charge of the right wing.
Meanwhile, the Gunners thrashed Leeds United 5-0 at the weekend, with new signing Viktor Gyokeres scoring a brace. The bad news for the capital club is that Bukayo Saka picked up a hamstring injury at the weekend. The speedy winger is a doubt for Sunday's derby, with big-money signing Eberechi Eze ready to shine.
With Arsenal's attacking potential and Liverpool's impressive record at Anfield, both teams are likely to score in this first leg of the 'final'.
Let's listen to the two military leaders' comments:
Arne Slot: "Arsenal can play in many different ways, you can see how well they are managed by Mikel Arteta and they have been working together for five years, because they can play almost any style of football.
That shows how well they are managed. One of their strengths is also set pieces. It's an area that if you look at Monday when we played Newcastle, we conceded two goals and against Bilbao as well, we need to improve."
Mikel Arteta : "It's very important and we want to continue the momentum we're having. Going to these stadiums, playing against these opponents is what we want and after big games, winning in a really convincing way. That's the goal."
Prediction: Liverpool beat Arsenal 2-1
Expert opinion
It is rare for a commentator to pick Liverpool to win, unless it is a former Reds player. Legendary Alan Shearer picked a draw. Former striker Chris Sutton insisted Liverpool would lose 1-2. Legendary Paul Merson also believes Arsenal will win 2-1.
Head to head
Head-to-head history reveals Liverpool's superiority under Jurgen Klopp, typically in the 2020/21 and 2021/22 campaigns, Liverpool won all 4 matches with a total score of 12-1.
However, things have been different since Mikel Arteta took charge at the Emirates: Arsenal are unbeaten in the last three seasons, they even beat Liverpool twice without losing in six meetings.
