Arsenal are set to take on Liverpool in a box-office clash at the top end of the Premier League table.

Both Arsenal and Liverpool are challenging for the title this season, and both have lost just one game each heading into this mouthwatering fixture.

Arsenal were beaten by Bournemouth last weekend, whilst Liverpool lost at home to Nottingham Forest in September.

Arne Slot has enjoyed a record-breaking start to his Liverpool career since taking over from Jurgen Klopp, but this will be his biggest test yet, despite Mikel Arteta’s side struggling with several key absences.

Arsenal vs Liverpool kick-off time and date

Arsenal will host Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in North London, in a game which neither side can really afford to lose, on Sunday, October 27.

The game will kick off at 4.30pm GMT, and fans will need to be wary that the clocks move back early on in the morning, with the UK timezone shifting from BST to GMT.

This is a fixture with a lot of history, but it is the first time Slot will face Arsenal in his career.

How to watch Arsenal vs Liverpool in the UK

The game between Arsenal and Liverpool will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage beginning earlier in the day.

For those who cannot watch, there will also be live radio coverage on BBC Radio Five Live.

Arsenal team and injury news

William Saliba is suspended after his red card against Bournemouth earned him a one-match ban.

Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are both absent with wider injury problems, as is captain Martin Odegaard, who insisted that he is close to a return.

Arteta is still facing uncertainty over Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori, with all three racing against time to be fit for the game.

Liverpool have problems of their own, with goalkeeper Alisson and attacker Diogo Jota among their absentees.
