Arsenal faces Liverpool tonight in a bid to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points.
Mikel Arteta’s team is in a strong position after their rivals faltered midweek. The Gunners have been performing well at home, winning their last seven league matches at the Emirates. There is confidence that they can take advantage of a weakened Liverpool squad and move closer to their first league title in over twenty years.
