"Table-topping Arsenal entertain defending champions Liverpool in a mouth-watering offering in the English Premier League on Thursday, with glory on offer for the former but pride heavily at stake for the latter. The Gunners are searching for their first league title since 2003, while the Reds are licking their wounds from a season that has almost inexplicably imploded following their runaway success last term."
"The Gunners have stormed to top spot as manager Mikel Arteta looks to go one better than three consecutive second-placed finishes in the English top flight. Only one defeat in 21 matches to begin the season the loss coming at Liverpool has marked Arsenal as the team to stop on all fronts. Free-scoring in front of the goal and miserly at the back, Arteta appears to have finally cracked the code."
Arsenal host defending champions Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in London on Thursday, January 8 at 20:00 GMT. Arsenal top the Premier League and seek their first title since 2003 under manager Mikel Arteta, having lost only once in their opening 21 matches. Arsenal combine prolific goal scoring with strong defensive solidity and lead Manchester City by six points. Liverpool enjoyed a stunning start, winning their first five league matches and compiling a seven-game winning run in all competitions, but have since seen a troubling decline that has dented their defence of the title.
