3 things to look out for as Arsenal travel to Anfield

A huge challenge awaits Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal as their quest towards the Premier League title continues at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners haven’t been successful on this ground in over a decade, but their stellar form combined with Liverpool’s woes this season means they’ve got absolutely nothing to fear.

Here are three things to look out for in Sunday’s Premier League clash

1. Liverpool’s form at Anfield 

Yes, Liverpool do not look as dangerous a side as they have the last few years, but despite where they sit in the table, their form at Anfield has still been impressive.

Liverpool have gone 9-3-1 in Premier League home games so far this season, and have a better home goal differential (+25) than Arsenal (+24). While they have struggled in between, their last three Premier League matches include 2-0 defeats of Everton and Wolves, as well as the 7-0 smashing of Manchester United. Furthermore, they haven’t conceded a goal in a Premier League match at Anfield this calendar year.

We all know of Arsenal’s struggles at Anfield in recent times. Arsenal have not won a Premier League match at Anfield since September 2012. While we are in a much better position to grab three points this go-around than in previous years, do not expect this game to be easy in any way. Liverpool are still one of the top sides in the world when playing at Anfield, and Arsenal will have to earn everything they can get from the match.
