Mikel Arteta has overcome Jurgen Klopp challenge already as Arsenal prepare for Liverpool test

Arsenal are arguably going into a match against Liverpool as favourites. It wouldn't be going over the top to suggest that Mikel Arteta's side, with seven wins from eight in the league and sitting top of the table, are playing better and in a much more confident mood than last season's runners-up.

Jurgen Klopp's side have won just two games this term, drawing four, half of their 18 goals came in one match, and a crushing Champions League loss in their too has made for an uncomfortable start to the season. With issues cropping up, there couldn't be more of a difference between the two sides heading into the match.

Albeit with two European matches to be played before they meet, this is Arsenal's best chance of getting a result against their historic rivals for years. They haven't beaten the Reds in the league since July 2020, and that's the only time in the 13 matches against Klopp that the Gunners have come out on top in the league.
