Gunners can fire key title race blow

Arsenal were knocked out of the FA Cup by Liverpool last month, but that loss looks the key piece of form in terms of the Gunners’ chances of winning at the Emirates on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta’s men created chance after chance in that cup clash, they won both the shot and corner count and bossed the ball and on another day the north London side would have been comfortable winners.

Arsenal will have been hoping that London rivals Chelsea took some points off Liverpool in midweek, that didn’t happen, but the Reds still have to go again off a short break.

There is no Mohamed Salah for Klopp’s side, Wataru Endo is away on international duty and Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson are only just returning from injury.

Arsenal have the power and physicality to dominate a more technical than sizable Liverpool midfield and that could prove the difference on Sunday.

Goals could flow on the north bank of the Thames

This fixture has a history of goals, and with Arsenal needing three points to keep tabs on Liverpool in the title race, we may get another entertaining contest.

There have been 84 strikes in the last 25 meetings between these sides, at an average of 3.36 per game, and the 4/6 on offer of at least three strikes at the Emirates on Sunday looks a wise wager.

Argentine in the book

Liverpool welcomed back Alexander-Arnold and Robertson from injury against Chelsea in midweek, but those two top-level performers are short of match practice and midfield enforcer Endo is still away on international duty.

The Reds still look a little short of defensive cover in midfield and Alexis Mac Allister is likely to have to do a fair amount of work to stop Arsenal’s attacks.

Whatever the result at the Emirates, the Gunners are likely to have a fair amount of the ball in midfield areas and Mac Allister may be heavily involved in the action.

The Argentinian has already been booked five times and sent off once in 17 Premier League starts this season and he could be in trouble again.
