* Arsenal are unbeaten against this opposition in the past seven league meetings, but five of those matches have ended in a draw.
* The games between these two sides have produced more hat-tricks than any other in the history of the Premier League.
* The Gunners' forward Robin van Persie has managed to hit the back of the net 20 times in his last 21 starts for the club.
* Barring Manchester United (42), Arsenal have scored more goals (32) at home than any other team in the league.
* However, the north London outfit have lost the most number of home games among the current top six.
* Liverpool have lost 10 league games on the road this season, which is more than any other team in the top ten.
* The Reds have also conceded the most number of goals away from home in the top ten (26), with the exception of West Brom (33).
* Kenny Dalglish’s men have performed well against top opposition in recent times, as three of their last four victories were against top four opposition – Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City. They did, however, lose to West Bromwich Albion and West Ham United during this period.
* Each of the last 23 league matches between these two clubs has produced at least one goal; the last time they played out a goalless draw was in September 1999, at Highbury.
* Andy Carroll recently opened his goalscoring account for Liverpool with a brace against Manchester City, and is currently the fourth highest scorer in the Premier League. But a majority (11) of those goals came during his time at Newcastle United.
LAST MEETING
August 14, 2010: Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal
A rare error from Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reinasaw the Gunners somehow salvage a point at Anfield, as new signing Joe Cole was sent off for the first time in his career.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Arsenal: Szczesny; Eboue, Djourou, Koscielny, Clichy; Song, Wilshere; Nasri, Fabregas, Walcott; Van Persie.
Liverpool: Reina; Flanagan, Carragher, Skrtel, Aurelio; Meireles, Lucas, Spearing; Kuyt, Carroll, Suarez.
Prediction
Liverpool have been galvanised under the guidance of Kenny Dalglish, whereas the hosts have not been particularly successful against top six opposition this season.
There has also been no lack of goals in this fixture in recent years. And with Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez in good form, an away victory should be on the cards.
