It will have been 3871 days since Arsenal's last win against Liverpool at Anfield when they travel to Merseyside on Sunday afternoon. Arsene Wenger was the last Gunners boss to beat the Reds on their home turf, picking up a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla.
Arsenal will head into the game a whopping 29 points clear of Liverpool and in much better form after winning their last seven Premier League fixtures. The north London outfit face a tough run of games in April and will need to end their poor run of results at Anfield to maintain their eight-point lead at the top of the table over Manchester City.
Jurgen Klopp's side look like a shadow of themselves this season with Champions League qualification looking very unlikely at this stage of the season. The Reds have lost their last three fixtures in the league, all coming away from home, but they remain a difficult test at Anfield.

Wenger may be proven right for believing his former club could be crowned champions this year after predicting that the Gunners were in with a shot of going all the way and lifting their first Premier League title since 2004 back in September. Wenger told talkSPORT: “This season, from the start, there is no completely dominating team and Arsenal have a chance [of winning the title] because the potential is there.
“Hopefully they can do it, at least to be in the top four. Why not? I think you cannot even rule out the fact that they can fight for the title," Wenger added.
The Gunners could take a huge step towards winning the title with a victory at Anfield on Sunday. While a win would see Arsenal keep City at a minimum of eight points behind them heading into the final eight gams of the season, it would also give the players and fans a huge amount of confidence heading towards tough away fixtures against West Ham, Pep Guardiola's side and Newcastle.
