This Sunday, at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal have another litmus test that, if passed, will keep them at the top of the Premier League. Liverpool is that step to be left at the bottom. Against the Reds, the Gunners have won just one of their last 14 Premier League matches (four draws and nine defeats), a 2-1 win in July 2020.

The Londoners have also lost four in a row to this opponent, although they have never lost five in a row, according to Stats Perform. On the other hand, the Merseyside side have won their last two away league games against Arsenal, the same number as in their previous 20 visits, so this fixture comes at a good time.

Added to that, Mikel Arteta's side have now gone 13 Premier League games in a row without a clean sheet against Liverpool, conceding 39 goals in that span. Still, this is a campaign in which the Gunners could put any poor run behind them, however, as they are on a seven-game winning streak in the league, their longest run since Unai Emery led them to 10 in 2018-19.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have yet to win away this term, drawing twice and losing the other in three games. Should that continue, they will match Roy Hodgson's run in 2010-11. Liverpool are in tenth place with just 10 points from two wins, four draws and one defeat. It is a poor campaign for Klopp's side, who are without an away win.

Liverpool have four straight wins over the Gunners

The German tactician did not announce the players called up to face the Gunners, but it is expected that the Colombian Luis Diaz will be in the squad and get some minutes from the starting whistle. The Colombian winger has a good chance of starting the game as he has played the majority of games at the start of the season. Lucho comes from playing against Rangers in the Champions League and was a substitute in the 3-3 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.
