Just a few weeks ago, Manchester City held an imposing 12-point lead over Liverpool and the title race looked over. But seven dropped points for City in their last seven Premier League games, coupled with eight straight wins for Liverpool, has seen that advantage cut to four points. Win today and the Reds will be a point behind with the same games played and a head-to-head still to come next month. The title race is still very alive.
Arsenal, meanwhile are the Premier League's other form team, seemingly coming from nowhere to park themselves in fourth place. They've won five games in a row and are now a point ahead of fifth-placed Man Utd, despite having played three fewer games; Champions League football could well be back at the Emirates next season.
This is the classic game between an unstoppable force and an immovable object, then — at least on paper. In reality, Liverpool are still favorites. Arsenal's victories have come against the likes of Leicester, Watford and Brentford, so taking on the might of Sadio Mané and co is a different matter.
They won't have to face Mo Salah from the start, however — he suffered a foot injury at the weekend is on the bench today. Konstantinos Tsimikas and James Milner will also both be missing for this game, but Ibrahima Konate is fit and is among the subs.
The Gunners had hoped Emile Smith Rowe could start following illness, but he's another one who will be on the bench. Mikkel Arteta has stuck with the side that beat Leicester at the weekend, with Alexandre Lacazette up front.
Here's how they line up:
Arsenal: Ramsdale, Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Lacazette.
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago, Jota, Mane, Diaz.
Will either of these teams see their winning streaks ended? Find out by watching the Arsenal vs Liverpool live stream, which we'll show you how to do below. And make sure you don’t miss a game this season with our how to watch Premier League 21/22 hub.
