Liverpool vs Arsenal Preview: League Leaders Arrive at Anfield

Arsenal Arrive as Joint Leaders

Arsenal come into the game in superb form. Mikel Arteta's side have 21 points from eight games, level with Manchester City at the top. They have won three league games in a row: 2-1 against Leeds United, 1-0 at Nottingham Forest and 2-0 against Everton.

Arsenal's biggest strength is their defence. They have conceded only five goals all season, the best record in the Premier League so far.

Liverpool Bounce Back After the City Defeat

Liverpool were rocked by a 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City in early October. The Reds responded with a 2-1 win at Brentford and a 2-0 victory over Brighton last weekend. They now sit fourth with 15 points.

Interestingly, Liverpool have been stronger away from home. At Anfield they have collected only five points from four games. Arsenal, by contrast, have won every home game but look slightly more vulnerable on the road.

Key Battles in Liverpool vs Arsenal

The midfield battle and finishing in front of goal will decide this one. Liverpool need a win to cut the gap to three points, while Arsenal want to stay on course for the title. The side that is more patient in building attacks has the best chance of taking all three points.

This fixture always attracts huge attention because both clubs are regular title contenders. Full season statistics are available on the official Premier League website.
