In the biggest match of the weekend title favourites, Liverpool will hope to maintain their unbeaten start to their Premier League campaign when they face off against an in-form Arsenal side on Saturday at the Emirates.
The last time Unai Emery and Jurgen Klopp clashed against each other the Merseysiders let down a 1-0 lead at halftime to lose 3-1 to Sevilla in what proved to be one of the best Europa Cup Final in recent times.
The poor form of Arsenal against top six teams is sure to provide Liverpool with some confidence while the alarming rate of goals scored by the Londoners will be a point of concern for the 18-time champions.
