"The faltering champions meet the in-form challengers on Thursday evening, as Arsenal welcome Liverpool to the Emirates Stadium for a blockbuster clash that could have major implications for the title race. The visitors arrive on a longer unbeaten run, but victory for Mikel Arteta's men would open up a staggering 17-point gap over the holders with 17 games left to play."
"Arsenal ushered in the New Year in dramatic fashion, overturning an early setback against Bournemouth to secure a vital 3-2 win. Gabriel Magalhaes redeemed his costly error with a goal, while Declan Rice netted twice-his first-ever Premier League brace after 296 appearances-to complete the comeback. That triumph extended Arsenal's winning streak to seven matches in all competitions, including five consecutive league victories."
"Arteta's selection headache is a welcome one. Max Dowman and Cristhian Mosquera are sidelined with ankle injuries, while Riccardo Calafiori remains unavailable. Kai Havertz may be rested again for load management, paving the way for Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka to start out wide. Saka, in particular, is chasing a milestone-he could become the first Arsenal player to score in four straight home league games against Liverpool."
Arsenal host Liverpool at the Emirates with a chance to open a 17-point lead over the reigning champions with 17 games remaining. Arsenal have won seven consecutive matches in all competitions, including five straight league victories, and have 14 wins from 15 home matches this season. The team recovered from an early deficit to beat Bournemouth 3-2, with Gabriel Magalhaes scoring after an earlier error and Declan Rice recording his first Premier League brace. Max Dowman and Cristhian Mosquera are out with ankle injuries; Riccardo Calafiori remains unavailable. Kai Havertz may be rested, with Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka likely to start wide.
