Arsenal are currently the table-topper in the Premier League with 39 points after winning 12 of their 17 league games. On the other hand, the hosts are also at their top form and stand in third place on the points table.
The two rivals are one point apart, which makes the match more interesting, as the team that wins the match will occupy the first position in the stands before the Christmas break.
In their last five games, the Gunners won 3 games and lost only one. Arsenal came into the game after beating Brighton 2-0 with goals from Jesus and Havertz.
On the other hand, Liverpool have also lost just one game in their last five games and will arrive full of confidence after beating West Ham 5-1.
In his speech at the pre-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp congratulated his team and said that they have a “super strong” team.
“We play a super-strong team; we play a team that played an exceptional last season and coming back is even better than last season,” Klopp was quoted by Liverpool’s official website as saying.
The Liverpool manager is looking forward to a real home game at Anfield.
“It’s amazing, wonderful to have them, wonderful to meet them. We’ve met frequently, obviously, and that’s good, but we’ve been given the task of making sure it’s a genuine home game, a genuine experience at Anfield. That’s all I want,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Gunners’ head coach Mikel Arteta said that both teams are prepared and have strong positions.
“It’s going to be a special atmosphere. [Both] teams are in a really strong position and I’m sure both teams have prepared the game to win it. It’s going to be an intense match. I’m sure that a lot of [our supporters] are going to show up tomorrow there and they’re going to be supporting the team, like always,” Arteta was quoted by Arsenal’s official website as saying.
Arsenal and Liverpool have met 32 other times, with the hosts winning in 12 matches and Arteta’s side in just 7 matches. Meanwhile, in thirteen games, the two groups have had to share the points.
The high-tension Premier League match will kick off at 23:00 IST (ANI).
