Liverpool vs. Arsenal tends to be full to the brim with superstars, fireworks and, most importantly, goals.
Sunday’s iteration of the Premier League staple is likely to conjure up some more magic as the reigning champions welcome last season’s runners-up to Anfield for an early title test. It’s undoubtedly the standout fixture of the weekend in what is the final round of top-flight matches before the September international break.
Liverpool have made a winning but unconvincing start to their title defence, benefitting from late drama in high-scoring wins over Bournemouth and ten-player Newcastle United. They will need to buck up their ideas if they want to avoid stumbling to defeat this weekend.
Arsenal were imperfect during their narrow win over Manchester United on the opening weekend but produced a much more coherent performance against newly-promoted Leeds United last time out. Viktor Gyökeres and Jurriën Timber both bagged braces in a five-goal thrashing of the Yorkshire side that means they’re currently top of the table.
Here’s how to watch a tantalising battle on Merseyside this weekend.
