The Premier League title race intensifies this Sunday as Liverpool welcome Arsenal to Anfield for a high-stakes showdown. Liverpool, leading the table with 82 points, hold a commanding 15-point advantage over second-placed Arsenal. However, recent setbacks have piled pressure on both sides, with Liverpool aiming to tighten their grip on the title and Arsenal desperate to revive their fading hopes. Anfield’s raucous atmosphere, combined with Liverpool’s formidable home record of 14 wins in 17 matches, sets the stage for a dramatic encounter.
Liverpool’s attacking firepower has been pivotal this season, with the Reds averaging an impressive 2.32 goals per home game. Mohamed Salah, their talisman with 28 goals, remains a constant menace for opposition defences. Arsenal, on the other hand, must overcome their poor away form, having lost their last three matches. Kai Havertz, with nine goals this term, will need to rise to the occasion if the Gunners are to address their struggles on the road, where they average 1.89 goals per game.
The history of this fixture heavily favours Liverpool, who have won eight of the last 18 meetings and are unbeaten in their previous four home clashes against Arsenal. The Gunners’ last triumph at Anfield came in 2012, highlighting the scale of their challenge. Despite Liverpool’s dominance, these matches often deliver tightly contested affairs, with 1-1 being the most frequent scoreline.
