Heavyweights Arsenal and Liverpool are set to lock horns in an eagerly anticipated Premier League fixture on Sunday night.
Arsenal welcome the Merseyside club to the Emirates Stadium with the hopes of bouncing back from their recent 2-0 defeat in the hands of Bournemouth.
The Gunners shot themselves in the foot in that painful loss due to careless mistakes and an indiscipline issue.
French defender William Saliba, who has been one of their dependable players in the past two seasons, picked up a straight red card for preventing a goal-scoring opportunity in the first half.
After his sending off, Arsenal looked fragile and eventually let in two goals in the closing stages of the second half.

On the other hand, Liverpool had to dig deep in their latest league match to beat Chelsea F2-1 at Anfield.
The Arne Slot-coached side, who currently sit in second place on the log on 21 points, found the back of the net through Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones while Chelsea’s goal came courtesy of Nicolas Jackson.
A win for Liverpool this Sunday will help them return to the top of the table since they are only two points behind leaders Manchester City who have played a match more.

Arsenal vs Liverpool Team News
Liverpool travel to North London without several key players including Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker and Harvey Elliott. Becker is nursing a thigh injury while Elliott is dealing with a foot issue.
Besides the duo, Diogo Jota is also guaranteed to miss this important clash due an abdominal injury.
As for Arsenal, they are not only dealing with many injury concerns but also the suspension of one of their most reliable players.
Saliba’s red card in last weekend’s clash against Bournemouth means he will not play any role in this match, a void that manager Mikel Arteta will struggle to fill.
The hosts are also set to be without Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), Martin Odegaard (ankle), Kieran Tierney (hamstring), and Riccardo Calafiori (knee).
In addition, Arteta will have to make a late decision regarding the involvement of Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka, who are racing against time to recover from muscle and hamstring injuries respectively.
Possible Starting Lineups
Arsenal: Raya, Zinchenko, White, Gabriel, Timber, Partey, Rice, Trossard, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz
Liverpool: Kelleher, Trent, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Diaz, Salah, Nunez
