| No other team in Premier League history has beaten the Gunners more often than Liverpool a total of 26 victories. However, anyone who has followed the season closely knows that a continuation of this streak is currently rather unlikely. Furthermore, the bookmakers are considering the hosts as firm favourites for this clash. Arsenal are the current leaders in the league. If anyone can challenge the Gunners for the title, it's Manchester City, who yesterday slept at home for a 1-1 against Brighton. A defeat for the guests while playing at Emirates also seems realistic because Salah is at AFCON and Ekitike's participation is still uncertain at this time. Arsenal leads the Premier League by five points ahead of Manchester City and has the best defense in the league with only 14 goals conceded. In a case of home victory tonight they could lead by 8 points before the next matchday. The Gunners are unbeaten at home and have kept five clean sheets at the Emirates Stadium. After 20 games, Liverpool are 14 points behind Arsenal and have conceded exactly twice as many goals as their opponents. |
