Looking to solidify their spot at the top of the Premier League, challengers Arsenal will welcome champions Liverpool to the Emirates on Thursday.

Mikel Arteta's Gunners overcame Bournemouth 3-2 at the weekend, courtesy of a brace from Declan Rice.

As for Arne Slot's Reds, they were held to a 2-2 draw by Fulham on Sunday, dropping points after conceding a 97th-minute screamer from Harrison Reed.

What is at stake in Arsenal vs. Liverpool?

Manchester City put Arsenal under pressure at the tail end of 2025, but they have failed to keep up the chase in 2026 so far, and three points against last season's champions would give the Londoners a serious boost.

The Gunners have only lost twice this term, with the first of those coming against Thursday's opponents back on August 31, when a Dominik Szoboszlai free kick separated the teams at Anfield.

However, Liverpool are not the unstoppable force they were in the past, and though they head into this clash nine games unbeaten, their performances have been less than impressive.

The fact that Slot's side dropped points against Leeds United and Fulham in their last two outings gives some insight into the reality of the Merseysiders' situation, and given their ongoing strife, they would do well to walk away with even a point in midweek.

With that in mind, Reds fans will be nervous considering that the visitors sit just three points above fifth-placed Chelsea, who boast a seven-superior goal-difference.
