This round of the Premier League starts hammering with the mega clash between Liverpool and Arsenal. Both teams are in the title race, and the hosts have a good opportunity to catch up a little on the top of the standings. For Arsenal, the loss of points here, will probably cost them the leadership. The stakes are high and we can definitely expect a spectacular match.
Arsenal are the second most efficient defense team in the Premier League, conceding only 21 goals so far. Earlier in the season, Arsene Wenger's team was able to neutralize Suarez and Sturridge and defeated Liverpool 2-0. This result, their current first place, and the good football of Arsenal, give them the necessary confidence for this tough visit.
Liverpool turn on, definitely will not give up the fight for the first place so easily. A possible loss seems unacceptable to Brendan Rogers, because it would push the team a whole 10 points behind Arsenal. Liverpool have not won against this rival now in 4 consecutive games and this home game provides a good opportunity for the team to break this negative series. Liverpool is stronger than ever at Anfield and so far have lost only one match at home for the entire season.
Both teams are in great form, as Arsenal are undefeated for consecutive 10 games in all competitions and Liverpool 7. Undoubtedly, this meeting is crucial for the developments on the top of the Premier League table and will answer the question, whether Liverpool have the strength to reach the Premier League title this season.
