"Both sides boast perfect starts to the new season, with reigning champions Liverpool coming into the game off the back of a dramatic last-gasp victory over Newcastle on Monday, while the Gunners swept aside Leeds United at the Emirates last weekend. Arne Slot's men could make history, with just one goal required to set a new club record of scoring in 37 consecutive league matches, however, Mikel Arteta's defence is yet to be breached this term."
"Slot makes one change from the side that started against Newcastle, welcoming back midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who comes in to replace Curtis Jones. Dominik Szoboszlai, whose ingenious dummy helped set up the Reds' winner on Monday, continues to deputise at right-back in the absence of the injured Jeremie Frimpong. Liverpool's teenage hero from St James' Park, Rio Ngumoha, is on the bench."
Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield with both clubs unbeaten to start the season. Liverpool won a late victory over Newcastle while Arsenal beat Leeds. Liverpool require one goal to set a club record of scoring in 37 consecutive league matches, while Arsenal's defence has not conceded this term. Arsenal's striker Viktor Gyokeres scored twice against Leeds and may lead the attack. Mohamed Salah has 11 career goals versus Arsenal. Slot restores Alexis Mac Allister to the Liverpool XI; Dominik Szoboszlai fills in at right-back and Rio Ngumoha is on the bench. Arsenal face multiple injuries to key players, with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz sidelined and Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard only on the bench.
