3 talking points ahead of Liverpool vs Arsenal

Arsenal travel to face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon as they look to bid farewell to their bad form and kickstart a strong end to the season.

The Gunners have fallen to three consecutive defeats over the past weeks, being knocked out of the Champions League with losses to Paris Saint-Germain either side of a disappointing 2-1 loss at home to Bournemouth.

With just one win in their last five Premier League games, Arsenal need to finish the campaign in convincing fashion, starting with a trip to Liverpool. There are three key talking points ahead of the Gunners' trip to Merseyside.

1. Starting a strong end

With Champions League qualification still not secure, Arsenal have to finish their season strongly in order to ensure they have a spot next season.

The last thing the Gunners would want is to miss out on a spot among Europe's elite as that would make this campaign simply disastrous. Unfortunately, a part of their end to the season features this weekend's trip to league champions Liverpool and I'm sure everyone can agree, that isn't an easy game.

Arsenal must be on their A-game for their visit to Merseyside and have to be looking to take away three points. With a visit of Newcastle and trip to Southampton to come, the Gunners must start a strong finish at Anfield.
