Liverpool host Arsenal in Sunday’s late kick-off in the Premier League, with both sides looking to extend their perfect starts to the 2025/26 league season.
The champions return to Anfield in a jubilant mood after a dramatic late win over Newcastle at the beginning of the week, with Rio Ngumoha’s late goal meaning the Reds are one of three sides with maximum points from their opening two games.
They are joined there by Spurs and Arsenal, with the Gunners having dismantled Leeds with a ruthless 5-0 win to add to their victory at Old Trafford on the opening weekend.
