Liverpool host Arsenal in the biggest Premier League game of Matchday 9. We look ahead to Sunday’s Anfield encounter by picking out five key subplots.
Getting knocked out of the EFL Cup by fourth-tier Fleetwood Town this week was one of the biggest shocks in the competition’s recent history, but it has otherwise been a pretty solid season for Arsenal.
The 3-0 loss at Brighton & Hove Albion has been the only blemish to the start of their Premier League title defence.
The reigning champions have won each of their other seven league games, recovering from that chastening loss on the south coast last month by beating Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Everton since.
Arguably their biggest test yet comes on Sunday, though, when they travel to Anfield to take on a Liverpool side who seem to be finding their feet under Andoni Iraola.
The Reds also suffered a disappointing 3-0 loss recently, at home to Manchester City, but three of their last four league outings have been impressive victories over Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton.
Liverpool’s form continued on Wednesday as they sealed their place in the League Cup quarter-finals, beating Chelsea on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Anfield. They will be hoping their recent momentum counts for something when they host the champions.
It promises to be a big game in a charged atmosphere on Sunday, and ahead of it, we’ve picked out five potentially important subplots.
