[Premier League] Liverpool has won 9 of their last 18 encounters, while Arsenal has managed just 3 victories.
The Gunners find themselves in a chasing position after an unexpected 0-2 away defeat to Bournemouth last weekend, in which a first-half red card for center-back William Saliba proved decisive. This loss halted Arsenal's impressive 13-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League, which had seen them secure 11 wins and 2 draws.
After eight rounds, Mikel Arteta’s side is now four points behind Liverpool and trails Manchester City by three. However, Arsenal heads into this showdown buoyed by a confident Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk midweek, with an own goal from the Shakhtar goalkeeper sealing the 1-0 victory in the first half.
Liverpool remains atop the Premier League, though their lead is slim. Since their only loss of the season—a 0-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest—the Reds have claimed four straight wins in the league.
Following comfortable wins over three lower-table sides, Liverpool managed a gritty 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Anfield last round. Their defense has also been formidable, conceding only three goals—their best start in six years. Unlike Arsenal, Liverpool had a midweek Champions League away fixture, where they defeated RB Leipzig 1-0, marking their third win in the competition.
