In one of the biggest games of the Premier League season, Liverpool and Arsenal meet in a six-point title match on Sunday.
Both teams’ title fight potentially depends on the outcome this weekend and we anticipate an exciting contest at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal recorded back-to-back wins for the first time since the turn of the year, when they recorded an unconvincing 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest last Tuesday.
Before that, Mikel Arteta’s men snapped their three-game losing streak on January 20 thanks to a convincing 5-0 win over Crystal Palace at home.
Arsenal have collected 46 points from 22 games to occupy third place in the Premier League table, five points behind Liverpool at the top of the standings.
Elsewhere, Jurgen Klopp’s side secured a big win against Chelsea ahead of the EFL Cup final by defeating the Blues 4-1 at Anfield on Wednesday.
The Reds are now unbeaten in 11 consecutive games in all competitions, with eight wins and three draws since December’s 2-1 defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise in the UEFA Europa League.
Having announced that he will step down from the managerial role at the end of the season, Klopp will look to end his farewell party on a high and deliver Liverpool their second Premier League title.
