The Premier League title race will take a turn whatever the outcome as Arsenal and Liverpool clash at the Emirates Stadium on Monday morning (AEDT).
Liverpool sit atop the standings with a five-point lead over Manchester City heading into the weekend, but City hold a game in hand as they remain very much in the hunt.
Arsenal entered the matchweek level with City on points, but Pep Guardiola's game in hand will have Arsenal knowing they are already at a disadvantage. The Gunners slip here, and their chances of remaining in the mix for the crown plummet.
League titles are rarely won in early February, but they can be lost, and in such a close and hard-fought race, there is very little room for error. A draw here would leave both sides reeling, but defeat would be catastrophic.

Arsenal vs Liverpool prediction, odds
- Moneyline lean: Draw ($3.70)
- Score prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool
Liverpool won the last meeting 2-0 to knock Arsenal out of the FA Cup around a month ago, but the Gunners were in charge for large stretches of the match. Had they finished their chances more ruthlessly, they would have kept up on the scoreline.
It will be difficult to keep a lid on the vicious Liverpool attack, but if they can finish chances at the same rate they create them, the Gunners can keep themselves alive in the title race. A draw helps nobody, but a loss is far more damaging, and both sides will ultimately be content to walk out of the Emirates in relatively the same position the entered.

Arsenal vs Liverpool best bet
- Pick: Over 2.5 total goals
- Odds: $1.60 (Unibet)
These sides sport two of the better defensive units in the Premier League, but when push comes to shove, they look to attack first and foremost.
Arsenal have put up seven goals in the two matches since the loss to Liverpool, while the Reds have struck for 17 goals in their last five matches. Gabriel Jesus and Darwin Nunez still continue to baffle in front of goal, with Jesus significantly underperforming his expected goals and Nunez hitting the post a record five times against Chelsea last time out.
There's oodles of attacking talent on the field in this fixture, and it should pay off in front of goal.
