Arsenal will head to Liverpool on Sunday afternoon with a healthy advantage at the summit of the Premier League.
The Gunners' lead at the top has been cut to five points following Manchester City's emphatic 4-1 win over struggling Southampton on Saturday evening, but Mikel Arteta's side know that victory at Anfield would re-establish an eight point cushion ahead of the final weeks of the title run-in.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are bidding to keep their faint Champions League hopes alive but know only a win will do against the current Premier League leaders following a string of rotten results over the past few weeks.
