Not many Premier League followers would have predicted Arsenal to be 11 points ahead of Liverpool after just eight games of the 2022/23 season. The Gunners have started the campaign in sensational form with seven wins and just one defeat, while Liverpool have won just two of their games - although they have played one less than Arsenal.
The two teams meet at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, October 9, and while the bookmakers are struggling to split the two teams, Arsenal will surely be considered as likely winners given the stark contrast in form between the sides. It's a strange position for Arsenal to be in, as they have an abysmal recent record against the Reds.
The Gunners have won just one of their last 14 Premier League meetings against Liverpool - with the last four clashes ending in defeat for Arsenal. However, Sunday represents an ideal opportunity for Mikel Arteta's side to end their Liverpool hoodoo.
