LIVERPOOL VS. ARSENAL: DATE, TIME, LIVE STREAM, MATCH PREVIEW AND HOW TO WATCH: DATE, TIME, LIVE STREAM AND HOW TO WATCH

Mikel Arteta's Premier League table toppers head to Anfield to take on Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in a crucial clash.

The Gunners currenty lead Manchester City by eight points but with Pep Guardiola's side travelling to rock bottom Southampton the gap will likely be five points by the time the North Londoners reach Merseyside. 

While Arsenal do not have a good record at Anfield, they have recorded victories in 1989, 1991 and 2002 - on the way to lifting the league title.

Three points on Merseyside and a rare double over Liverpool would be absolutely huge.
