Arsenal vs Liverpool: How to watch live, stream link, team news
The Gunners have won five in a row to move into fourth place and Mikel Arteta’s side are brimming with confidence ahead of this massive clash. Arsenal’s youngsters have stepped up in recent weeks with Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe all scoring important goals. Alexandre Lacazette’s leadership up front has been crucial too, but it is Arsenal’s newfound defensive solidity which is key to their impressive consistency. Gabriel and Ben White have been rock solid at center back, (Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey have been excellent in front of them too) while Aaron Ramsdale has been sensational in goal with Arsenal conceding just four goals in their last six games. If they can finish the season strong and finish in fourth place to seal a return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2016-17 season, it would be a heck of an achievement by Arteta. They have only lost once at home this season (to Man City) and have won nine of their last 11 games to push them into fourth.
