While Liverpool’s struggles this campaign have left them in no position to maintain their top-of-the-table rivalry with Manchester City of recent years, at least Arsenal’s emergence as contenders has kept the Premier League title race interesting for onlookers this season.
The Gunners boast an eight-point advantage at the top of the table ahead of their trip to Anfield on Easter Sunday. With Man City, who boast a game-in-hand on Mikel Arteta’s men, in action away at Southampton the day before, Arsenal will be looking to at least preserve their lead when they lock horns with the Reds.
Given the Gunners haven't won the Premier League since 2004 and haven't finished any higher than fifth since 2016/17, their emergence this year has admittedly come out of nowhere. Even if City manage to topple them at the top of the table in the forthcoming weeks, Arsenal at least look set to compete in next season’s Champions League and end a seven-year absence from Europe’s elite club competition.
