How to watch Liverpool vs Arsenal: TV channel and live stream following new TV deal

The Premier League’s two favourites for the title this season are set to face off in a blockbuster clash this Sunday. Reigning champions Liverpool host three-time consecutive runners-up Arsenal, with both sides having won their opening two fixtures of the campaign.

Arne Slot’s Reds have managed two shaky victories against Bournemouth and Newcastle, with the latter being decided by a 100th minute winner from teenage substitute Rio Ngumoha. Mikel Arteta’s side, meanwhile, began the season with a 1-0 win away at Manchester United, before the5-0 demolition of Leedslast weekend.

Crucially, the Gunners have not conceded a single goal yet, which puts them atop the Premier League table. But despite drawing in their last three visits to Anfield, it was all the way back in September 2012 that Arsenal managed to beat Liverpool away in the Premier League. Mirror Football now brings you everything you need to know to tune in to the most tantalising game of the season so far.

Slot made the bold call to start Dominik Szoboszlai at right-back against Newcastle on Monday, when the Hungarian midfielder impressed despite playing out of position. With first-choice Jeremie Frimpong sidelined until after the international break, Szoboszlai may well keep his spot, despite Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley returning to fitness.

Alexis Mac Allister too suffered a knock earlier this week but Slot said he hoped the Argentine would be fully fit to face the Gunners.

Arsenal have also encountered several injury problems already this season. Bukayo Saka was taken off with a hamstring problem during the second half against Leeds last weekend and is set to be out for the next three to four weeks. Kai Havertz is also sidelined for an extended period of time with what appears to be a knee injury, while Gabriel Jesus is still not back from his ACL injury.

Ben White and Christian Norgaard could make their returns after their absence against Leeds. Captain Martin Odegaard could also play after suffering a shoulder injury against Leeds which forced him to come off. New signing Eberechi Eze is expected to make his debut.
