The league’s top team, Arsenal, will take on Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in an attempt to make it eight victories in nine games.

The opposition, on the other hand, is looking to get back to winning after drawing their last two league games.

Starting on October 9, 2022, at 15:30 UTC, Arsenal and Liverpool will face off at the Emirates Stadium in London, England. The game is a Premier League(EPL) contest. Arsenal is currently in first place, and Liverpool is in ninth.

Team News

Eight players were changed by Arteta for his team’s victory over Bodo/Glimt in the middle of the week; Zinchenko was rested after skipping training on Wednesday as a precaution due to a recent calf injury.

Last time out in the Premier League, the Ukraine full-back surprised everyone by starting against Spurs. On Sunday, he should be healthy enough to take Kieran Tierney’s place at left-back.

The three starters who kept their spots were Martinelli, Xhaka, and Gabriel. The trio will almost certainly start again against Liverpool, with club captain Martin Odegaard expected to move back to attacking midfield despite Fabio Vieira scoring from that position in midweek.

Due to muscle injuries, Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny are anticipated to be out for some time.

While Curtis Jones is getting closer to a comeback after returning to training on Thursday, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arthur, and other Liverpool midfielders are expected to miss the trip because of injuries.

Ibrahima Konate, who suffered a knee injury in preseason, was named among the substitutes for the first time this season against Rangers, but Klopp is unlikely to make any changes to his back line, especially since Andy Robertson is still most likely at least a week away from recovering from his own knee problem.

The German will have to decide whether to use his standard 4-3-3 formation or the 4-2-3-1 set up that helped Arsenal defeat Rangers on Tuesday. Given Arsenal’s slick midfield possession style, the former option is probably preferred.

As a result, Fabinho could take Darwin Nunez’s place, with Salah and Luis Diaz lining up on either side of Diogo Jota. However, given Firmino’s strong start to the season, there is also the possibility of Firmino filling in instead.

Match Preview

Even the most ardent Arsenal supporter might not have anticipated their team’s blistering start to the season after they acquired Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko from champions Manchester City in the summer transfer window.

With goals from Jesus, Thomas Partey, and Granit Xhaka, Mikel Arteta’s team defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 in the North London derby last weekend to maintain their lead in the Premier League standings.

Arsenal easily won the match, and Emerson Royal’s straight red card for a cynical challenge on Gabriel Martinelli shortly after the hour mark undoubtedly contributed to that. However, Arsenal was the superior team throughout, and on the basis of their current form, they appear poised to mount their first title challenge in several years.

It goes without saying that Liverpool is the only team that has recently been able to match Pep Guardiola’s Man City, making Sunday’s match extremely exciting and possibly instructive in terms of predicting how the rest of the season will play out.

The Gunners defeated Bodo/Glimt 3-0 in the Europa League on Thursday night to extend their unbeaten streak in all competitions at home to eight games. What once seemed like wild dreams may now be seen as more attainable goals if they can make it nine in a row on Sunday and maintain their lead over Man City at the top of the table.

However, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool team is off to their worst start to a season in a number of years as they enter Sunday’s matchup 11 points behind their opponents (albeit with one game in hand).

The Merseysiders appeared to have turned a corner after picking up just two points from their first three games with back-to-back home victories over Bournemouth and Newcastle United, but Everton and Brighton & Hove Albion have since held them at bay.

Roberto Firmino scored twice either side of halftime to give the Reds a 3-2 lead in the second half against the Seagulls at Anfield last weekend. However, an unstoppable Leandro Trossard was not to be stopped on the day as the Belgian sealed his hat-trick – and snatched a point for his side – with only seven minutes of regular time remaining.

Tuesday‘s Champions League match against Rangers saw Klopp switch to a more offensive formation, starting four attackers in front of the midfield duo of Thiago Alcantara and club captain Jordan Henderson.

The Europa League runners-up from the previous season were ultimately defeated by a 2-0 score thanks to a free-kick by Trent Alexander-Arnold and a penalty by Mohamed Salah.

It remains to be seen if the German believes his team is capable of traveling to the Emirates Stadium to face an in-form Arsenal team with such a daring system, especially since it is unquestionably a game they cannot afford to lose if they are to have any realistic chance of winning the Premier League this year.
