"The reigning champions face an uphill battle on Thursday evening, as Arsenal welcome Liverpool to the Emirates Stadium for a crucial Premier League showdown. The Reds arrive on a longer unbeaten run than the hosts, but defeat in North London would leave Mikel Arteta's side a commanding 17 points clear with 17 games remaining. Arsenal began the New Year brightly, capitalising on dropped points elsewhere during Gameweek 20 despite a nightmare start away to Bournemouth, where Gabriel's early error was punished by Evanilson."
"The centre-back atoned with a crucial equaliser before Declan Rice struck twice to seal a dramatic 3-2 win, his first Premier League goals after 296 appearances. Arsenal's joy was compounded later that evening when Chelsea's late equaliser against Manchester City further strengthened their position at the top. Back-to-back draws for City mean both they and Aston Villa sit six points behind the Gunners, although that gap could be reduced on Wednesday night."
Arsenal host Liverpool at the Emirates with the chance to increase their lead to 17 points with 17 matches left. Arsenal recovered from an early Gabriel error at Bournemouth, with Gabriel equalising and Declan Rice scoring twice for his first Premier League goals to secure a 3-2 victory. Chelsea's late equaliser against Manchester City further bolstered Arsenal's standing, leaving City and Aston Villa six points behind. The Emirates has been a fortress, with 14 wins from 15 home matches and a 12-game winning streak. Liverpool have dropped late leads recently but remain unbeaten in nine matches and sit fourth.
