Arsenal’s stronger away record and provisional position meet Liverpool’s home test and A. Isak’s 6 league goals, with significant absences on both sides.
Before kickoff
Can Liverpool’s home record withstand Arsenal’s away defence? Arsenal have won 3 and lost 1 of their 4 away league games, conceding 3 goals and keeping 3 clean sheets. Liverpool’s home record is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 4 goals scored and 5 conceded. That contrast frames the key question at Anfield on Sunday.
Isak carries Liverpool’s clearest threat
A. Isak has scored 6 goals in 7 league appearances for Liverpool. B. Saka has scored 3 goals in 7 appearances for Arsenal, but he is listed as missing this fixture with a thigh injury. Liverpool will also be without C. Bradley, H. Ekitike, J. Frimpong, G. Leoni and A. Nallo, while V. Munoz and D. Szoboszlai are questionable.
Arsenal list M. Dowman and W. Saliba as missing, through a red card and back injury respectively. R. Calafiori, N. Madueke and C. Tzolis are questionable.
The provisional table adds pressure
Arsenal are provisionally second with 21 points from 8 games, while Liverpool are provisionally fourth with 15 points from 8 games. Arsenal are 6 points ahead. Manchester City lead the league with 21 points, so Arsenal are level with the leaders on points before the 16:30 UTC kickoff.
Liverpool’s most recent eight-match form is Draw, Draw, Win, Draw, Win, Loss, Win, Win. Arsenal’s is Win, Win, Win, Win, Loss, Win, Win, Win. Will Isak’s 6-goal return break through Arsenal’s 3 away clean sheets?
