Overview

• Liverpool lead the Premier League but face a critical challenge against Manchester City, a team they last defeated at the Etihad in the league during the 2015-16 season.
• Arsenal, trailing Liverpool in the standings, are relying on City's strong home record to potentially slow down Liverpool's title push.
• Liverpool's attacking prowess, led by Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo, contrasts with Arsenal's focus on defensive stability, shaping the season's narrative as a battle of styles.
• Injury concerns loom for both teams, with Liverpool's Cody Gakpo doubtful and Arsenal lacking firepower upfront, while City face key absences including John Stones and Rodri.
• With seven of Liverpool's final 11 league matches at Anfield, Sunday's result could significantly impact their momentum in the title race.
