PREMIER LEAGUE MATCH: LIVERPOOL Vs ARSENAL ON TODAY, 4 P. M. AT ANFIELD ( WHAT ARE YOUR PREDICTIONS FOR THIS TOUGH MATCH )
Two of the Premier League’s elite sides lock horns at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, as Liverpool take on Arsenal in a fixture that tends to provide goals aplenty. After getting their campaign firmly back on track with three-successive wins in all competitions, the Reds will hope to keep the momentum going into the international break with three more points against the Gunners.
A fortnight into the new season and Jurgen Klopp can already tick off one of his big targets for the campaign, having guided Liverpool past Hoffenheim in what looked like being a tricky Champions League playoff tie.
That proved to be far from the case in the end, as a rare defeat on home soil for the German was too much to overturn in the return match at Anfield on Wednesday; Emre Can producing a stellar display to earn a 6-3 aggregate victory.
As Arsene Wenger has found out down the years, Arsenal are never too far away from a disaster. Two games into the new season and already there are murmurs of discontent following last weekend’s all-too-familiar loss at Stoke City.
For all the Frenchman’s claims when penning a new contract in May that he was prepared to change approach, some things quite simply never change as his men went down to a Jese Rodriguez strike to make it one league win in eight visits to the Potteries.
Team News
The big news as far as the visitors are concerned is the return to action of star forward Alexis Sanchez who, nearly two months on from his most recent run-out, is finally set to make his comeback from a minor problem.
While Arsenal can welcome back Sanchez,
Liverpool are still likely to be without their chief playmaker as Barcelona-linked Philippe Coutinho continues to watch on from the stands due to a virus.

Mignolet; Gomez, Lovren, Matip, Robertson; Can, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Mane, Firmino , Salah
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Cech; Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Xhaka, Ramsey, Kolasinac; Sanchez , Ozil; Lacazette
