Arsenal head to Liverpool on Sunday afternoon for what is set to be a huge test just three games into the Premier League season.
The Gunners have enjoyed a perfect start to their campaign, taking two wins from their opening matches. Mikel Arteta oversaw a thumping 5-0 victory over Leeds last time out with Viktor Gyokeres and Jurrien Timber each scoring a brace and Bukayo Saka also getting on the scoresheet.
Liverpool have also taken six points from their first two games, but have made life slightly more difficult for themselves. The league champions let 2-0 leads slip against both Bournemouth and Newcastle, but recovered with late goals to win 4-2 and 3-2 respectively.
Arteta will be keen for his side to continue their winning start, especially in such a huge game against arguably their main title rival. A victory would be an outstanding result, but it won't be easy for the Gunners.
Here's our preview of Arsenal's early title clash at Liverpool.

Liverpool team news
Liverpool will continue to be without right back Jeremie Frimpong as he mends a hamstring issue. Dominik Szoboszlai filled in for the Dutchman against Newcastle so Arne Slot could have a decision to make whether he or Conor Bradley starts on the right side of defence.
Alexis Mac Allister was absent from his side's victory on Tyneside, but has returned to training this week. There is potential for him to have some form of involvement against Arsenal.
Predicted Liverpool lineup vs Arsenal: Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike
Arsenal team news
Arteta will have to begin life without Bukayo Saka after it was confirmed he will be absent for three to four weeks due to an injury sustained in the win over Leeds. Noni Madueke could fill in on the right wing for his England teammate.
Captain Martin Odegaard also suffered a knock against the west Midlands side, but his situation is slightly more optimistic. Arteta was unsure if he would be available so it will be a wait-and-see scenario for the skipper. If he is involved, it'll likely be from the bench. New signing Eberechi Eze could be thrown in the deep end on his debut as he could step into the Norwiegian's position.
Ben White and Christian Norgaard could make their return to the Gunners squad after missing the previous game. Arteta was hopeful the pair could be involved in some capacity against Liverpool.
Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz remain unavailable as they recover from their respective surgeries.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Liverpool: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Eze, Rice; Madueke, Gyokeres, Martinelli
Liverpool vs Arsenal score prediction
Both sides will be more than up for this tie as they look to continue their winning starts to the season and that adds to the excitement of the matchup.
There is no denying that this will be crucial in the title race despite being so early in the campaign and both Arsenal and Liverpool will hope to rise to the occasion. However, that means this could be a case of the two sides cancelling each other out.
Despite the 10-point gap that separated them at the end of last season, the two meetings between the Gunners and the champions were tightly contested, both ending in 2-2 draws and that is likely to be the case tomorrow. Both will be eager to win, but will be cautious not to throw everything at it and that will see this end in a well-fought draw.
