Venue: Anfield, Liverpool
Kick-off: 4:30 PM BST
Matchweek: 4 – Premier League 2025/26
The
2025/26 Premier League season is still in its early chapters, but Sunday’s clash between
Liverpool and Arsenal already feels like a heavyweight title indicator. Both clubs have started the campaign strongly and arrive at
Anfield unbeaten, with momentum, form, and pressure colliding in what could be an explosive showdown.
This is also the first
top-six test for
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s head coach, whose progressive tactical identity is starting to show. For
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, it’s about proving they’ve matured into consistent title challengers not just contenders.
Current Form
Liverpool: 2 Wins
Goals Scored: 7 | Goals Conceded: 4
Liverpool have impressed in bursts this season. A fluid attack and high pressing game have delivered wins over Bournemouth and Newcastle United, though 4 goals conceded so far highlighted some defensive vulnerabilities.
Arsenal: 2 Wins from 2
Goals Scored: 6 | Goals Conceded: 0
The Gunners have shown sharpness and control, dispatching Manchester United and Leeds with relative ease defeating both opponents flawlessly. However, Anfield presents their first real test of mental and tactical resilience.
