Arsenal climbed to the top of the table after a comprehensive win against north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, and they will be full of confidence heading into the contest against Liverpool. The Gunners have picked up seven wins from eight Premier League matches so far, and Mikel Arteta will demand a big performance against Liverpool this weekend.
Meanwhile, Liverpool a currently ninth in the Premier League table, having made a disastrous start to the new season. Jurgen Klopp’s men have won just two of their seven Premier League matches and are in danger of missing out on European qualification if they do not get their campaign back on track soon.
The Reds have suffered multiple injury issues, and new signing Darwin Nunez has not been able to hit the ground running either. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can improve on their recent performances and grind out a morale-boosting victory at the Emirates.
Arsenal have won their last seven home matches in the Premier League.
Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in their last six matches against Arsenal in all competitions.
Liverpool are undefeated in 25 of their last 26 matches in the Premier League.
Liverpool have won their last three away matches against Arsenal in all competitions.

Manchester United’s four-match winning run in the Premier League came to a halt last week as Manchester City handed them a thrashing, with Erling Haaland and Phil Foden netting a hat-trick each.
Antony did score a spectacular curling effort, and Anthony Martial netted a late brace to hand some consolation to the visiting party. But the performance showed Erik ten Hag has a lot of work, and this current Manchester United squad is still not capable to challenge the monopoly of City.
On the other hand, Everton escaped a relegation scare last season. But this season, they have looked solid, especially at the back. They leaked a whopping 66 goals last term, but the timely arrival of Conor Coady and James Tarkowski has been an instant hit as the duo has worked tirelessly to solidify the gap in the Toffees’ backline.
Goals have been scarce to come, but the bedrock for a successful season always lies in defensive rigidity. After eight matches, Everton have managed to implement their philosophy, conceding the least number of goals among in the Premier League.
Following a 1-0 win over Manchester United in April, Everton are looking to win consecutive Premier League games against the Red Devils for the first time since winning both games in the 2013/14 season. The Red Devils have won just one of their last seven Premier League matches against Everton (D4 L2), a 3-1 away win in November 2020. They had won five of their seven against the Toffees before this.
Everton have won their last two Premier League games, having won just one of their previous ten. They last won three in a row in March 2021 under Carlo Ancelotti.
Manchester United have lost eight of their last ten Premier League away games (W2), keeping a clean sheet in both victories. However, the Red Devils scored as many goals in their 6-3 defeat against Manchester City last time out as they had in their previous eight away league games combined.
Everton are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games (W2 D4). They last had a longer run in November/December 2017 (7 games), while they last had a longer stretch under a single manager between December 2016 and February 2017 (9 under Ronald Koeman).
Antony has scored in his first two Premier League games for Manchester United. No player has ever scored in their first three appearances for the Red Devils in the competition. Marcus Rashford has faced Everton more often without ever scoring than he has any other opponent in the Premier League (11 games). Meanwhile, against no side has teammate Anthony Martial scored more Premier League goals than he has against the Toffees (5).
