Liverpool and Arsenal meet on Super Sunday in a clash that promises goals, drama, and tactical intrigue. Both sides have won their opening two Premier League matches, making this an early test of title credentials. Arsenal have not won at Anfield since 2012, drawing their last three visits and losing the six before that. Missing key players Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, and Kai Havertz, Arsenal fans may worry, but the Gunners’ depth has improved with signings like Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze, and Noni Madueke.
Arsenal’s attacking strength is highlighted by 33 goals from corners since the 2023/24 season, the most in Europe’s top five leagues. Liverpool, meanwhile, have struggled to maintain two-goal leads in their opening fixtures but have shown resilience with comeback wins against Bournemouth and Newcastle. Hugo Ekitike has started the season strongly for Liverpool, scoring three goals in as many appearances, while Mo Salah remains a proven threat against Arsenal with 11 career goals versus the Gunners.

Arsenal’s midfield looks reinforced with Martin Zubimendi providing cover and allowing Declan Rice to support Gyokeres in attack. Liverpool, under Arne Slot, boast a remarkable scoring record, netting in 39 of their last 40 Premier League games and accumulating 93 league goals since last season, 17 more than any other side. Conor Bradley and Milos Kerkez may offer attacking width for Liverpool, but defensive caution could be key against a side capable of exploiting full-back spaces.
Although Alexander Isak’s arrival is imminent, he is unlikely to feature in this fixture, leaving Gyokeres to lead Arsenal’s line. Liverpool’s last-minute heroics are notable, with 46 last-minute Premier League winners in their history, and 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha recently joining that list. Arsenal remain on an unbeaten away streak of 15 matches, adding another layer of intrigue to this high-profile clash. With both teams in fine early-season form, tactical decisions, depth, and finishing could determine whether Liverpool maintain their Anfield dominance or Arsenal finally claim a breakthrough victory on enemy turf.
