Anfield will see the clash of two English Premier League title protagonists, as Liverpool host Arsenal on Sunday.

Liverpool return to Anfield for the first time since the opening day, after a gruelling match away to Newcastle United.

A spirited display, led mainly by those in black and white –  both on and off the pitch – wasn’t enough to derail Liverpool, as they saw off 10-man Newcastle on Monday night.

Teenager Rio Ngumoha came off the bench to score his first English Premier League goal and steal a 3-2 win, with a 100th-minute winner.

However, it is the second time in two matches this season in which manager Arne Slot’s side have thrown away a 2-0 lead – exposing their defensive vulnerabilities.

They face an Arsenal side who have won both of their league matches so far and are one of only two teams yet to concede a goal in the 2025/26 English Premier League season.

Manager Mikel Arteta is into his sixth season in charge at the Emirates and many see this as his best opportunity to win Arsenal their first English Premier League title since 2004.

The addition of Swedish forward Viktor Gyokeres, in particular, brews optimism in North London – he was also on target twice in last week’s 5-0 win against Leeds United.

Here, EPL Bets writer Callum Close tips his selections as Arsenal test their title credentials against the reigning champions.

Viktor Gyokeres to have over 0.5 shots on target

After netting a brace on his Arsenal debut, the Swedish striker is sure to be hopeful of testing the Liverpool net at least once.

Liverpool have shown themselves to be defensively vulnerable this season, conceding two goals in each of their two matches so far.
