In-form Arsenal take on the toughest test they’ve had in months with what looks a daunting visit to Liverpool on Saturday evening.
A win at Anfield for the first time since 2012 would speak to a team to have made huge strides under Mikel Arteta this season and further underline Arsenal’s credentials as a genuine challenger for Champions League qualification.
In fact, even a convincing performance would be a promising indication that this reasonably young team can truly battle with elite sides away from home, albeit would point to some of the work Arteta must continue to do in order to get Arsenal taken seriously.
Indeed, while Liverpool lost to West Ham just before the international break, that was the first time they’ve tasted defeat all season and have largely been formidable at home under Jurgen Klopp’s stewardship.
