Liverpool host Arsenal in a battle to be top at Christmas as 2nd takes on 1st. Arsenal will be hoping to keep their grip on top spot but their record at Anfield has been pretty torrid in the last decade.
When was the last time Arsenal beat Liverpool at Anfield?
In the Premier League, Arsenal’s last win over Liverpool at Anfield came on September 2nd 2012. Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla were amongst the goals that day for the Gunners.
Mikel Arteta played the full 90 minutes that day but now he returns to Anfield as Arsenal manager in hope to try and find three points.
Arteta’s men nearly beat Liverpool at Anfield last season. They were 2-0 up and cruising but they were made to leave with a point as Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino scored to bring it level and dent their title chances.
Head-to-head record
Liverpool lead the head-to-head battle but it’s quite tight. The upcoming fixture will be the 240th time the sides meet. Liverpool have won 94, Arsenal with 82 wins and 63 draws. Since the 2-0 defeat to Arsenal, Liverpool have won 11 times in all competitions. Arsenal have won seven times; five of those coming at the Emirates. One of the two was at Wembley in the Community Shield and the other was a Carabao Cup win at Anfield that the Gunners won on penalties.
Where can I watch Liverpool v Arsenal?
Liverpool v Arsenal will be broadcasted on Sky Sports Premier League at 5:30pm on Saturday 23rd December. Only a point separates the two as Liverpool slipped up against Manchester United in an 0-0 draw. Arsenal responded well to defeat to Aston Villa but they now must prove they can beat the big teams.
Results have covered up Liverpool’s shoddy recent performances but they’ll be put up to the test against Arsenal’s rapid attack. Only time will tell with which one of these teams is the true title favourite.
