Arsenal Can Go Top at Liverpool as Title Race Takes a Sunday Twist

Arsenal travel to Anfield on Sunday knowing that avoiding defeat against Liverpool would take them to the top of the Premier League.

The Gunners sit level with Manchester City on 21 points but hold a game in hand after the leaders slipped to a 1-0 home defeat against Brighton on Saturday, with third-placed Brighton two points further back.

Liverpool, who beat Brighton 2-0 at Anfield last weekend, stand between Arsenal and first place in what shapes as the biggest test of the Gunners' title credentials so far.

What is at stake

A win would move Arsenal three points clear at the summit, while defeat would leave the door open for City and Brighton, and hand Liverpool a major boost in their own pursuit of the leaders.
