Arsenal started life without Arsene Wenger for the first time in over two decades this season.
At the beginning it appeared as though they would take a long time to shake off Arsene Wenger’s tactics and get used to that of Unai Emery.
However, after losing their first two games against Manchester City and Chelsea, they have since embarked on a 13 game unbeaten run in all competitions – 12 of those games ended in wins for Arsenal before they dropped points in a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace last week.
This is their biggest test since they played Chelsea on Matchday 2, and a home win for them here would bring them right into the mix to win the Premier League title.
Liverpool are the primary team who everyone thinks will challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title this season and the Reds have kept up the pace with the defending champions so far.
The Reds are unbeaten after 10 league games that have provided 8 wins to keep them just behind Manchester City on goal difference.
There have been problems for last season’s Champions League finalists in other competitions though as they have been eliminated from the Carabao Cup, and they have lost a game in the Champions League.
Liverpool know how to beat Arsenal and this game could be one of the most important away wins they get this season if they can come away with all three points.
Arsenal have lost two of their last three meetings against Liverpool, and they haven’t won a game against the Reds in their last 6 attempts.
Bookmakers have priced Liverpool up as early favourites to come out on top in this game.
Over 2.5 goals is currently trading odds-on so goals are expected by punters.
Mohamed Salah, Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are the four most fancied players to score the first goal.
