"The Emirates Stadium is set to host a Premier League showdown this Thursday as league leaders Arsenal welcome defending champions Liverpool. While the Gunners sit comfortably at the top, 14 points clear of the Reds, the buildup has been dominated by a defiant message from the Liverpool camp. Mikel Arteta's side may be the runaway favorites to lift the trophy this May, but Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai has moved quickly to remind them that the crown still resides at Anfield, for now."
"Despite Liverpool's difficult defense of their title, Szoboszlai refused to feed into the narrative that Arsenal are champions-in-waiting. When asked if Liverpool will be facing the champions to be, the Hungarian captain offered a sharp correction, reminding the media of the actual current hierarchy. The Hungarian midfielder told Sky Sports: The Premier League is not easy. You don't win it by January, so I don't think we are playing against the champions. They're playing against the champions."
The Emirates Stadium will host Arsenal versus Liverpool this Thursday. Arsenal lead the Premier League by 14 points. Liverpool enter the match as defending champions but have experienced a marked decline and inconsistent form in 2025/26. A warning from Liverpool's camp emphasized that the Premier League is not won by January and that the title race remains open. Some sections of the fanbase have criticized manager Arne Slot's recent post-match remarks and suggested he has accepted mediocrity. Liverpool spent around half a billion in the summer yet find themselves fighting for a top-four place midway through the season.
