Join us for our Liverpool vs Arsenal preview. It features all the key Premier League information including team news, predictions and lineups.
The Gunners visit the home of the champions on Sunday afternoon in what could've been a significant tussle on Merseyside. However, Arsenal's poor domestic form over the spring allowed Liverpool to coast to the Premier League title, meaning there's little riding on the upcoming bout.
While the Reds will want to put on a show in front of their supporters after limping to a 3-1 defeat at Chelsea, the visitors must finish the season on a positive note to make sure of their place in the top-five. This is also a chance for Mikel Arteta's side to set a tone for 2025/26.
Arsenal head into the fixture off the back of their season-ending Champions League exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain, who also dumped Liverpool out of the competition in the round of 16. The Gunners performed admirably in Paris but faltered in both boxes which allowed PSG to advance with some degree of comfort.
A huge summer lies ahead.

Liverpool team news
Arne Slot said after Liverpool's title victory that he'll offer minutes to those who have only featured sporadically last season, and the likes of Jarell Quansah and Harvey Elliott waere in the manager's XI at Stamford Bridge.
I don't expect the hosts to be weak here, although Slot has already confirmed that Conor Bradley will start over Trent Alexander-Arnold in preparation for the season.
Otherwise, we should see the starting XI which helped Liverpool to title glory.
Predicted Liverpool lineup vs Arsenal: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz.
Arsenal team news
Arteta will opt for a strong starting lineup on Sunday as he aims to score a notable victory at Anfield.
There could be a couple of changes from Wednesday's starting XI, with Riccardo Calafiori back in contention and Ben White potentially being rotated in. Gabriel Martinelli could also drop out for Leandro Trossard.
Arteta said Ethan Nwaneri will feature more during Arsenal's remaining fixtures, but a start is unlikely on Sunday.
Jorginho is available, but Kai Havertz probably won't be risked. Gabriel, Gabriel Jesus, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are out injured.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Liverpool: Alisson; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Calafiori; Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Merino, Trossard.
Liverpool vs Arsenal score prediction
Arsenal's bleak week hopefully ends with the guard of honour before kick-off. A defeat here would dampen the mood further in north London.
The Gunners can't down their tools just yet, and they have the chance to score an early blow ahead of the 2025/26 season, where they'll be aiming to steal Liverpool's crown. However, it'll be a tough ask for Arteta to get his players up for this one after Wednesday's heaertbreak.
Thus, the visitors may have to slog their way through this one, but I think they'll benefit from facing Liverpool team who aren't all that motivated either in the wake of their title triumph. Expect a bit more chaos than usual, and the two teams playing out an entertaining draw.
