Arsenal face Liverpool in a huge Premier League clash at Anfield on Sunday in the hopes of re-establishing their eight-point lead at the top. Title rivals Manchester City cut the gap down to five after comfortably dispatching of Southampton on Saturday evening.
Anything but a victory in Merseyside could hand the initiative back to the reigning champions as they have a game in hand on the Gunners and must welcome Mikel Arteta's men to Etihad Stadium later this month. To avoid that, Arsenal would need to end an 11-year winless league run away to Liverpool.
The clash with the Reds starts a crucial six-game run that could decide the title with Arsenal still needing to take on Man City, Newcastle and Chelsea.
