Arsenal vs Liverpool Competition – Barclays Premier League Stadium: Emirates Stadium Date: 27th October 2024 Kick-off time – 16:30 GMT
After their midweek exertions in the Champions League, Arsenal will welcome Liverpool to the the Emirates for the biggest game of Round 9 in the 2024/25 Premier League season. The Gunners come into this tie on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. That win followed up a disappointing 2-0 loss to Bournemouth in their last league outing. As a result, Mikel Arteta’s side come into this round trailing Liverpool by four points so this game has huge implications for the Gunners, who could be dealt a big blow in the title race if they lose here. That said, despite their recent loss and the fact that they will be without influential defender William Saliba for this game, the hosts are not in terrible form. The shock defeat to Bournemouth in their last league outing was their first in 17 games across all competitions (W13, D3) so it’s safe to say the Gunners are more used to winning than losing. Yet, the fact that Arsenal haven’t kept a clean sheet against Liverpool in 17 consecutive Premier League H2Hs suggests that this could be another difficult weekend for the Gunners. Still, the Arteta’s side have won the last two Premier League meetings with Liverpool. But should Arne Slot’s side turn the tables and snatch victory themselves, they will move to 24 points and accomplish their second-best start to a Premier League campaign after nine games. That’s no less than this Liverpool team deserves after their electrifying start to the season. The Reds made it six wins in six away games in all competitions in midweek as they beat RB Leipzig in the Champions League. Slot also wrote himself into the history books following that result, becoming the first top-flight manager of an English club to win as many as 11 of his first 12 games in all competitions (L1).
