Arsenal takes on Liverpool in a key Premier League matchup this Sunday that could significantly influence the title race. Although the season has only just begun, this showdown between potential challengers could play a crucial role in deciding who has a chance to challenge Manchester City for the championship.

The Gunners, who lost points in a 2-0 defeat against Bournemouth last week, would fall seven points behind Liverpool if they lose today's match. On the other hand, if Arne Slot’s team loses, they would likely give up their top position to Pep Guardiola’s defending champions.

To establish their worthiness for the championship, Arsenal needs to overcome a Liverpool team that is currently playing exceptionally well, all while missing some important players. Mikel Arteta will be without key figures like Martin Odegaard and Riccardo Calafiori at the Emirates, and he will be counting on Bukayo Saka to recover from his recent injury in order to influence the match.

Slot and Liverpool are missing their top goalkeeper, Alisson, but Caoimhin Kelleher has shown he can step up when needed. On paper, the Reds seem to be the more formidable team. The question is, can they demonstrate that on the field?
