The Gunners managed to beat Liverpool at home last season and drew at Anfield, finishing the season unbeaten against them, which played a crucial role in their title challenge.
They will host Liverpool on the 27th of this month, providing them with another opportunity to defeat the Reds. This match could also be pivotal in determining who sits atop the league standings.
Currently, Liverpool leads the Premier League, enjoying a strong start under manager Arne Slot. However, they have yet to face particularly tough opponents, and now they face a setback with the loss of a key player.
Mirror Football reports that Alisson Becker suffered a serious injury against Crystal Palace, which will sideline the Brazilian goalkeeper for up to a month. His absence for the game against Arsenal is a significant advantage for the Gunners, as Alisson is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Losing Alisson is a big blow for Liverpool, but that does not mean we should underestimate them because they still have a strong squad even without the Brazilian goalkeeper.

This game will be massive, the Merseyside out fit sporting the meanest defense in the league.
The Merseyside pretenders haven’t really face anyone of note as yet, this game will provide the first proper test if the wheels holds until then.
It’s true that Arsenal will be Liverpool’s biggest test so far – one “pretender” against another really as neither club holds the trophy currently.
It could be a piece of good news for Arsenal, we’ll see.
It does illustrate that all clubs have injury problems to key players over a season (City with KDB and Rodri is another example) and we shouldn’t become too fixated with Arsenal’s almost as though it’s a problem peculiar to us.
