From title-deciders, European knockouts and cup finals to goal-laden draws, tight wins and thrashings, Liverpool vs Arsenal is one of the most entertaining fixtures in English football. Whenever the Reds face the Gunners, drama is guaranteed.
It looks certain to be the case one more when Jurgen Klopp ’s side take on Mikel Arteta’s men for the fourth time this season, and 11th time over the past three campaigns, on Wednesday night. Win and Liverpool will move one point behind league-leaders Man City in the Premier League table, ensuring the title-race is in their hands. Drop points and their title hopes will have been dealt a crushing blow.
With Arsenal currently sitting fourth in the table, a point ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United with three games in hand, the Gunners will be no pushovers. Looking to compete in the Champions League for the first time since 2017, they need the points almost as much as the Reds.
