A litmus test for Arsenal
For Arsenal, the clash with Liverpool is more than just another league game; it is a litmus test for their title credentials.
The Gunners spent heavily during the summer transfer window, securing eight new signings, including striker Viktor Gyokeres and creative midfielder Eberechi Eze, per Sports Mole.
Their start to the season has been promising, scraping a 1-0 victory over a troubled Manchester United before demolishing Leeds United 5-0, with Gyokeres scoring his first two Premier League goals.
Arsenal are yet to concede a goal in the new season, showcasing defensive solidity alongside attacking firepower.
Liverpool, on the other hand, has overseen dramatic wins against Bournemouth and Newcastle, but both victories required late goals to secure maximum points.
With Tottenham also perfect so far, the outcome of this match could prove decisive in shaping the early title race narrative.
Injury concerns for both sides
Both Arsenal and Liverpool enter the game with injury concerns that could impact the balance of Sunday’s clash, Football London reports.
For the Gunners, Bukayo Saka and captain Martin Odegaard picked up knocks in the win over Leeds and face late fitness tests.
Ben White and Christian Nørgaard have also been sidelined but might return in time for the trip to Anfield.
Liverpool are facing their own challenges as Jeremie Frimpong remains out with a hamstring injury and is not expected back until after the international break.
