Arsenal vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League latest score and confirmed lineups | Football

Arsenal welcome Liverpool to the Emirates tonight with the chance to move eight points clear at the summit of the Premier League.

The Gunners were relentless over the festive period, maintaining their lead at the top while those around them lost pace.

Manchester City were the ones expected to put the pressure on but it is Pep Guardiola’s side who have lost their nerve in recent weeks with three draws on the bounce derailing their title bid.

It’s Arsenal’s to lose – but for now, Liverpool are still the champions of England.

Fourteen points off the Gunners, another title charge on Merseyside is surely out of the question but Arne Slot’s side can at the very least keep things interesting with a win in north London tonight.
