Arne Slot's acid test - Holt
Daily Mail's Oliver Holt, who is at the Emirates today has highlighted how today's clash can be key for the title race:
Everyone loves an acid test. Today is Liverpool's. Or Arne Slot's Liverpool anyway. Beat Arsenal at The Emirates and the idea that the title race this season would be between Manchester City and the Gunners will be exploded.
Last time at the Emirates
With around 40 miuntes left until kick-off now seems the perfect time to flashback to last season's meeting at the Emirates Stadium.
On that day it was Arsenal who came out on top 3-1 winners, thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.
Luis Diaz had forced an own goal from Gabriel after a defensive mix-up to level the scores just before half-time.
That day was considered a major turning point in the title race, though it would be Manchester City that would go on to win it.
Of all the incidents on that day, perhaps the most memorable was Martin Odegaard's celebration, as he took a photo of club photographer Stuart MacFarlane.

And the pressure continues to build on Erik ten Hag.

And Raya believes that discipline will be the key to their success going forward.
Arne Slot's near flawless start
Liverpool fans couldn't have asked for a better start to life under news boss Arne Slot.
