Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday 1 November 2026 (16:30 UK). Arsenal are six points clear of them but winless there in 13 league games.
Liverpool v Arsenal is on Sunday 1 November 2026 at Anfield, kick-off 16:30 UK time, live on Sky Sports, according to the Premier League's official fixture list.
Arsenal are second on 21 points from eight games, level with Manchester City. Liverpool are fifth on 15, also from eight, per the BBC table. A Liverpool win would cut the gap to three, the Guardian notes, and make it a fourth successive home win in all competitions.
The number that matters
Thirteen. Arsenal have not won at Anfield in the league in 13 matches, equalling the club's worst run there, the Guardian reports, and Mikel Arteta has never won a league game there as manager. They arrive after losing a Carabao Cup shoot-out at Fleetwood. The Guardian lists Bukayo Saka (thigh) as out, with concerns over Noni Madueke's ankle, and Max Dowman suspended. The Evening Standard says Arteta hinted Christos Tzolis could be fit, and reads Tzolis' own fantasy team as a clue on him and on Riccardo Calafiori, who has had a knock. Neither is confirmed.
What to watch
Arsenal's defence is the foundation: Understat shows five league goals conceded in eight games against an expected 8.1, partly good defending and partly fortune. They scored their first set-piece goal of the season in a 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday 24 October, and the Guardian suggests Liverpool's set-play defence is the weakness to target.
Liverpool under Andoni Iraola win the ball back more aggressively. Opta figures in the Guardian show Alexis Mac Allister winning 2.3 tackles per Premier League game, up from 1.8 last season. If Arsenal's midfield gets through that first wave, space opens up. If not, the run reaches 14.
