LIVERPOOL take on Arsenal looking to build on a solid start to the season.
After the disappointment of a 3-3 draw at Watford, the Reds beat Crystal Palace 1-0 and powered into the Champions League group stage against Hoffenheim.
The Gunners will travel up north on the back of their 1-0 defeat away to Stoke as Arsene Wenger will look to get his side back to winning ways.
Things haven't quite clicked for Arsene Wenger yet and his side looked shaky in both the Stoke match and the narrow opening day win over Leicester.
When is Liverpool vs Arsenal?
The Reds will host Arsenal on Sunday, August 27.
Kick-off will be at 4pm.
The match will be played at Anfield.
⚽IAN WRIGHT: Liverpool v Arsenal betting preview⚽
By Ian Wright
LIVERPOOL showed against Hoffenheim that when they turn it on they can blast teams away in a 20-minute spell.
It’s hard to foresee anything other than a home win.
Sadio Mane was fantastic mid-week and in that kind of form the 13/2 on him bagging two or more looks great value.
