Liverpool v Arsenal preview

Liverpool will return to premier league action on Sunday after their 2-1 aggregate win over Hearts in the Europa League. The Reds played a 2-2 draw against the reigning league champions last week. Arsenal played a goalless draw against Stoke City.

The two teams are seeking for their first league wins of the season. Liverpool made two errors against Manchester City last Sunday. Luis Suarez will be the star player for the Reds. He has scored in his last two matches against Man City and Hearts. Nuri Sahin is expected to make his debut for Brendan Rodgers' side. The Turkish international was in the middle of a transfer tussle between these two sides during the just concluded summer transfers.

Santi Cazorla and Mikel Arteta will be involved in a midfield war with Nuri Sahin,Joe Allen and Steven Gerrard. Rodgers seems to have embedded a 4-3-3 system into the Liverpool squad.

Oliver Giroud and Lukas Podolski are yet to score for the Gunners. Arsene Wenger's team have played barren draws in their opening two matches. Even though they might end their goal drought at Anfield, a victory looks unlikely. The Gunners will have to deal with the threat posed by Raheem Sterling,Luis Suarez and Nuri Sahin.
Kick off time: 12:30 UTC

Our prediction
Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal
