Arsenal v Liverpool

Arsenal vs Liverpool Preview

Third placed Arsenal will go in search of capturing a third league win on the trot in the Premier League in Sunday afternoon's showdown against the current league leaders Liverpool following Arsenal's recent 2-1 win away from home at Nottingham Forest, while Liverpool racked up a fourth win on the trot after inflicting a comprehensive 4-1 win against Chelsea at Anfield in midweek.

Victories against Crystal Palace 5-0 and Nottingham Forest has seen The Gunners stage a revival following a worrying spell of results beforehand which had produced just one point from a possible nine on o?er for Mikel Arteta's side after a 1-1 draw away from home at Liverpool along with back-to-back defeats at the hands of West Ham and Fulham.

The bigger picture shows Arsenal have lost three out of their last 11 matches overall in the Premier League which includes a previous 1-0 defeat away from home at Aston Villa but having picked up seven wins within these previous 11 games as well, Arsenal now find themselves just two points behind Liverpool ahead of this vital clash at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners have been handed just the single defeat on home soil so far this season whilst collecting no fewer than eight wins in the process, so the north London club will fancy their chances of producing a positive result here.

Liverpool stretched their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 15 games last time out with a resounding 4-1 defeat over Chelsea and having previously captured important victories over Burnley, Newcastle United and Bournemouth, The Reds have not only maintained their position at the top of the Premier League table but the visitors also look to be in formidable form as well.

Jurgen Klopp's side have been dealt just the single defeat so far in this season's English top flight campaign which came in the form of a 2-1 loss away from home at Tottenham but since that defeat, the merseyside club have put together a solid looking 15-game unbeaten spell which includes four wins on the road. Victories at She?eld United, Crystal Palace, Burnley and Bournemouth should give Liverpool plenty of confidence in also gaining a favourable result in what is one of the tastiest looking fixtures in this weekend's Premier League schedule.
