One of the biggest games of the season is upon us this Sunday as Arsenal welcomes Liverpool to the Emirates. Let’s take a look at the most memorable moments from this thrilling fixture down the years.
The main trend between these two in recent years has been victories for Liverpool. In fact, Arsenal have only eight wins in the past 30 matches between these two that extends back to 2012.
However, one of those memorable wins was another game that once again saw over 2.5 goals and both teams score in a 3-2 Arsenal win. This was the Gunners' first victory over the Reds in five games, as Bukayo Saka stole the show with a brace.
Liverpool have won 95 times from the 241 games involving these two, which is 13 more than Arsenal’s tally.
One of those great Premier League wins was two seasons ago when the Reds managed to score over 3.5 goals for the 11th time in the Premier League era. It was also the fourth time in this era where the Reds have won 4-0 and the sixth time where Liverpool have managed to win by four or more goals.
With this fixture being one of the highest-scoring matchups in Premier League history, we have to turn our attention to the League Cup to see the game with the most goals involving these two.
10 of them were shared in a 5-5 thriller back in 2019, where Liverpool would go on to win on penalties. This was also Liverpool's first victory over Arsenal in a competition outside of the Premier League since beating them in another game that saw over 4.5 goals in a 4-2 victory for the Reds in the Champions League in 2008.
Another League Cup thriller came 12 years prior to the aforementioned one, as Arsenal scored six at Anfield - this is the most the Gunners have ever netted against them and at Anfield, of all places.
Once again, this match kept up the trend of plenty of goals and both teams scoring, where Julio Baptista stole the headlines with four goals for Arsene Wenger's men. In fact, this game marked the start of a 10-game run involving both teams scoring when Liverpool and Arsenal met.
Finally, that famous Champions League match.
Six goals hit the scoreboard once again that night where Steven Gerrard once again bagged against Arsenal. This game was also one of the 11 fixtures since that 6-3 win for Arsenal in the League Cup to see over 4.5 goals.
