Arsenal hosts Liverpool this Thursday in a clash that could define the course of the Premier League. The "Gunners," who are six points ahead of Manchester City, are looking to consolidate their lead and break a league title drought that stretches back to 2004. After three consecutive runner-up finishes, Mikel Arteta's team feels they have "something to prove" against the reigning champions.

Arne Slot's Liverpool arrives in an unusual position, 14 points behind the Londoners after a turbulent campaign, despite their historic investment in signings. Although the "Reds" won 1-0 in the first leg at Anfield, Arsenal is confident in their home strength to maintain their lead at the top.

Arteta regains key players: Kai Havertz is close to returning after his knee surgery, although the defense will remain depleted due to the absences of Calafiori and Mosquera. Arsenal’s determination will be absolute as they do not want to let this opportunity slip away.
