A blockbuster showdown between likely title rivals headlines the early Premier League season slate at Anfield this afternoon. Arsenal head to Merseyside full of confidence having started their latest campaign with victory at Manchester United and a drubbing of newly-promoted Leeds that saw summer signing Viktor Gyokeres off the mark, though the injuries are already piling up for Mikel Arteta with Bukayo Saka sidelined again and captain Martin Odegaard battling to be fit.

Liverpool have made an eventful start to their championship defence, with goals not a problem but defensive frailties leading to cause for concern. The Reds withstood a late Bournemouth fightback to win 4-2 on opening night before teenage sensation Rio Ngumoha sealed victory at Newcastle with a dramatic last-gasp effort, with Arne Slot now eager to see swift improvements at the back.

Alexis Mac Allister should return for the Reds today in a key midfield boost, with Conor Bradley and Virgil van Dijk also fit. Liverpool are in pursuit of both Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi before the transfer deadline, while Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Piero Hincapie.
