Anfield will take center stage on Sunday afternoon as defending champions Liverpool host Arsenal in a blockbuster Premier League clash between two title contenders.
Both sides have opened the season with back-to-back wins, but one of their flawless starts will end this weekend. For Arsenal, the fixture represents an opportunity to make a strong statement after finishing runners-up to Liverpool last season, their third consecutive second-place finish.
The game could also mark the debut of new signing Eberechi Eze, who joined from Crystal Palace last weekend. The winger is expected to feature at some stage and has been tipped to add an extra spark to Mikel Arteta’s attack.
Arsenal have drawn on each of their last three visits to Anfield, but a victory on Sunday would be a major psychological boost early in the campaign.
Liverpool, meanwhile, will be looking to extend their formidable home record, having gone nearly a year unbeaten at Anfield in league play. Arne Slot’s side have shown resilience in their opening two matches, relying on late goals to secure victories, though defensive concerns remain after conceding four times.
Striker Viktor Gyökeres, who scored twice in the win over Leeds, will once again be in the spotlight as the Reds face their first major test of the season.
