Liverpool vs Arsenal preview: Prediction, date, venue, and how to watch Premier League match on DAZN in Canada

It's the glamour match of the weekend, as Liverpool host Arsenal on Sunday.

The teams finished first and second, respectively, in the Premier League last season and they make up two of the three teams who have won each of their first two matches of the new campaign. The Reds and Gunners are both expected to be in the hunt for the league title this season, making this match a crucial one.

Liverpool are coming off a wild 3-2 victory at Newcastle that required late heroics from youngster Rio Ngumoha to secure the three points. Both of Liverpool's wins have come off late goals, but manager Arne Slot will surely be hoping for a less dramatic ending this time around.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are coming off a comfortable 5-0 victory over Leeds United and have yet to allow an opposition goal through their first two matches. Known for their steadfast defence in the Mikel Arteta era, the North London side will have to be at their absolute best to keep Liverpool off the scoreboard at Anfield.

Liverpool vs Arsenal: What the managers are saying

Arne Slot, Liverpool

(via Liverpool)

"They can play in multiple ways, you can see how well they are managed by Mikel [Arteta] and they are working for five years together, because they can play almost every style there is in football. That tells you how well managed they are. One of their strengths is also set-pieces and that is an area where, if you look at Monday when we faced Newcastle we conceded two and against Bilbao two, we need to improve. We were, by the way, really good last season, so no panicking at all. We also had to defend [a lot of] set-pieces at Newcastle, so then only conceding two is not even so bad!"

"A very important one and we want to continue building the momentum that we are in right now. Going to those grounds, those stadiums, against this kind of opposition is what we want and coming away from those big games, winning in a really convincing way. That's the objective."

Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction

There's very little to separate these teams right now, and I'll take the safe route and predict a draw with both teams scoring.

Prediction: Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal
