Arsenal vs. Liverpool live score: EPL result, updates, stats, lineups from huge Sunday clash at Emirates Stadium

There is a potentially significant meeting in the context of this season’s Premier League title race today as Arsenal and Liverpool lock horns in North London.

Arne Slot’s team have won all but one of their fixtures in all competitions in 2024/25 and went into this latest matchday with a one-point advantage at the top of the table after defeating Chelsea last time out.

The Gunners are four points back of the Reds, which potentially makes this game a more important one for Mikel Arteta and his players than it is for Liverpool. A recent spate of injuries, plus a red card for William Saliba at Bournemouth, has left the squad looking thinner than it has over much of the past couple of seasons, and the pressure is on the manager to navigate this tricky period.
