Arsenal have won 15 of their 20 Premier League games to sit top of the table
Defending champions Liverpool are 14 points adrift of the Gunners
Recommended bet: Arsenal to win and both teams to score
Arsenal will be hoping to take another step towards Premier League glory when they welcome reigning English champions Liverpool to the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night.
The Gunners recorded a fifth win in a row in the league when beating Bournemouth 3-2 at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, with two-goal hero Declan Rice providing the inspiration for Mikel Arteta's side.
Liverpool thought they had snatched all three points against Fulham on Sunday when Cody Gakpo netted in the 94th minute at Craven Cottage, but Harrison Reed's stunning strike three minutes later grabbed a share of the spoils for the Cottagers.
Team news
Riccardo Calafiori, Cristhian Mosquera and Max Dowman are all injured for Arsenal, who are expected to recall Bukayo Saka to the starting XI after he started the Bournemouth win on the bench.
Eberechi Eze was an unused substitute at the Vitality Stadium and he could be brought in as Arteta looks to keep his team fresh.
As for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah remains at the Africa Cup of Nations and Alexander Isak is not expected back until March as he recovers from a fractured ankle.
Wataru Endo remains sidelined and Giovanni Leoni is out for the season, but Hugo Ekitike is expected to return after missing the Fulham draw with a minor thigh issue.

Prediction
Arsenal have responded well to the 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa on December 6, stringing together a seven-match winning run in all competitions which includes the penalty shootout success over Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup.
It is five league wins in a row for the Gunners and they will feel confident of extending that record to six now they return to the Emirates, a venue they are unbeaten at this season.
Arsenal have looked a little shaky at the back in recent weeks and they have managed just one clean sheet in their last six assignments, so Liverpool will feel they can at least get on the scoresheet.
The Reds are still lacking the consistency they showed in last season's title-winning campaign and defence has been a big concern, as they have recorded eight shutouts in 29 fixtures and conceded six goals across their last three away matches in the league.
With Arsenal scoring 26 goals at home in the top flight at an average 2.6 per game, they should have the extra firepower to record an entertaining win over Liverpool.
