Forecast: Liverpool Face-off Against Arsenal

On August 31, Anfield will host a highly-anticipated Premier League match between Liverpool and Arsenal. Both teams have started the season with perfect records and are eager to continue their winning streaks.

Liverpool will be without Jeremie Frimpong due to a hamstring injury, with Conor Bradley as an alternative option for the right-back position. However, there's some good news for the Reds as Alexis Mac Allister is back in training and expected to be available for the match. Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister have yet to start a game together this season.

Arsenal, on the other hand, have a six-match unbeaten streak against Liverpool in the Premier League. Injury concerns for the Gunners include Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard, Ben White, Christian Norgaard, and Martin Odegaard. If Odegaard doesn't recover in time, Eberechi Eze and Ethan Nwaneri could potentially replace him.

The defender in Arsenal's team considered one of the best in the current Premier League season is Martin Zubimendi. Arsenal displayed disciplined defending and a near-flawless display against Leeds United, which bodes well for their upcoming match against Liverpool.

Liverpool's offense has been strong, outscoring their rivals, and they require one goal to establish a new club record of 37 consecutive top-flight matches with a goal. Mohamed Salah has scored 11 goals against Arsenal in the past, more than any other player (except for Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney).

The previous matches between these rivals have produced superb contests over the last decade. In their 40 Premier League games under Slot, Liverpool have scored in 39 of them. Noni Madueke is expected to slot in on the right to cover for Saka's absence for Arsenal.

With both teams expected to score, the upcoming match promises to be an exciting encounter. Liverpool's 2008-born prodigy, Dominik Szoboszlai, scored a last-gasp winner against Newcastle, extending their flawless start. Arsenal are in contention to win their opening three league games without conceding, a feat not seen in 101 years.

However, Arne Slot's side faces significant defensive work due to vulnerabilities that have left them behind both Arsenal and Tottenham in the early Premier League table. Will Liverpool continue their scoring streak, or will Arsenal extend their unbeaten run against the Reds at Anfield? The stage is set for an enthralling clash.
