Liverpool will welcome Arsenal to Anfield on Sunday, 31 August, for the biggest Premier League match of the season so far.
Both teams are locked together on six points after two games played, and they are considered the two most likely teams to win the title this season.
A win for either team would lay down a marker for the rest of the campaign, so the stakes are high despite the fact that we're still in August.

Liverpool preview: Reds in good shape
As far as injuries go, Liverpool are in good shape ahead of the match this weekend. The Reds are only going to be without Jeremie Frimpong, and Arne Slot will have to decide whether to stick with Dominik Szoboszlai at right-back or bring in Conor Bradley. In midfield, Alexis Mac Allister should be available after missing the game against Newcastle.
Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo, Ekitike

Player to watch: Viktor Gyokeres
After scoring two goals on his home debut last weekend, Viktor Gyokeres will be feeling good about himself ahead of kick-off on Sunday. If the Swede can help Arsenal towards a huge three points at Anfield, then all doubts about whether he can perform in the Premier League will be put to bed.
