The Gunners need to win on Sunday since they are five points behind the Reds.
Three weeks ago, Liverpool eliminated Arsenal from the FA Cup.

Arsenal welcomes Premier League leaders Liverpool to the Emirates on Sunday, and the result of the match could determine Arsenal’s title challenge.

The Gunners intend to challenge for the league title once more this season, but after both teams’ victories in midweek, they are already five points behind the Reds. Manchester City is a strong contender as well.

On Tuesday night, Mikel Arteta’s team maintained their oppressive dominance at Nottingham Forest, winning 2-1. On Wednesday, Liverpool proved their mettle at Anfield, defeating Chelsea four times to reclaim their comfortable lead at the top.

The Gunners discovered three weeks ago in the FA Cup that the Reds are a very dangerous opponent, and their effectiveness has only increased since Jurgen Klopp’s declaration about his future.

There’s going to be an intriguing encounter this weekend.

Arsenal vs Liverpool preview: Prediction, team news & lineups

Here’s our preview of the mammoth Premier League match on Sunday.

Arsenal team news

After returning to the training field before to the Forest victory, Arteta will be hoping to have Thomas Partey available for Sunday’s match. The midfield player most likely won’t start the match this weekend, though.

Considering that Fabio Vieira and Jurrien Timber are still sidelined, the manager has no new injury concerns.

Smith Emile Despite his strong performance at the City Ground, Rowe may not make the squad because Arteta prefers to use Kai Havertz in these kinds of games.

Liverpool team news

In their most recent games, the visitors have welcomed Andy Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Dominik Szoboszlai back into the lineup. Nevertheless, considering how well their successors have done in their individual absences, there’s no guarantee that all three will get off to a good start at the Emirates.

Joe Gomez may keep Robertson off the pitch at left-back even though Szoboszlai should keep his spot and Trent is expected to return.

Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic, Mohamed Salah, and Kostas Tsimikas are remain out of the lineup for Liverpool. The season is over for Joel Matip.

Arsenal vs Liverpool predicted lineups

Arsenal: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Rice, Odegaard, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones; Diaz, Nunez, Jota.

Score prediction for Liverpool vs. Arsenal
With both teams planning to use different starting lineups, there will likely be some changes from the most recent FA Cup match. Liverpool in particular will be more formidable, and Arsenal will probably abandon the two #10s trick that caught Klopp off guard.

For the Gunners, who must win to strengthen their title credentials, this is a crucial game. If we don’t get three points, it will seem difficult that we can unseat the Reds.

Arteta’s security and control and Liverpool’s heavy-metal style of football are about to collide in an intriguing battle of styles. It should be exciting to watch this ideological difference, and I can’t decide between the two sides.

Prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool

Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal are “queuing up” to sign a €60 million Bundesliga player.

After only six months in the Bundesliga, Willian Pacho is drawing significant attention, according to German media.

The Ecuadorian international helped Royal Antwerp win the Jupiler Pro League the previous year, and as a result, he signed a summer contract with Eintracht Frankfurt. Pacho was purchased for €9 million with the obvious goal of selling him for a huge profit down the road.

The 22-year-old, who was already well-regarded when playing for Belgium, has proven that the Eintracht management was right to have trusted him. Pacho has impressed with his awareness, athleticism, and ball handling skills this season, making him one of Germany’s most outstanding defenders. Still, even Frankfurt locals were caught off guard by his quick ascent to fame.

The original intention, according to BILD, was to retain Pacho in the Bundesliga until 2025 or 2026, but his strong play this season may hasten his exit. According to the article, the Premier League’s elite have already taken notice of the Ecuadorian.

Pacho to the Premier League?
The teenage defender is reportedly drawing serious interest from Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Real Madrid and Napoli, two more powerful teams in Europe, are reportedly also eager to sign the 22-year-old.

According to the rumour, Pacho might be sold as soon as the summer arrives if the right offer is made. Since there is no release clause for the left-footed center-back, Eintracht will eventually control the ball.

The German team now values Pacho at approximately €60 million, but they know he will be in high demand come summertime due to the lack of excellent left-footed centre backs available. As a result, his cost can increase much more
