Champions Liver­pool continue their quest for more Premier League history when they take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium tonight.

The Reds suffered a setback in their pursuit of top-flight immortality at the weekend, while the Gunners will be look­ing to bounce back from their North London derby loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to Burnley means that Liver­pool must now win all three of their remaining games – against Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United – to break the points record, or take seven points from the nine available to equal it.

Mikel Arteta said that Liv­erpool chasing Manchester City’s Premier League points record will “100%” affect his side’s approach to Wednes­day’s game.

“If you look at their last games and the line-ups they put in there, you can tell they are coming here with full commitment, trying to win the points,” he said.

Both sides are likely to be gunning for victory, then, and that should play into the hands of Liverpool more than Arsenal. The visiting front three looks ideally suit­ed to take advantage of Arse­nal’s defensive issues, and we can see that being the differ­ence between the two sides in an entertaining game.

Arsenal has now thrown away a whopping 21 points from winning positions this season – a tally which, if add­ed to their current points total, would leave them third in the table, only a point be­hind Manchester City and with Champions League football for next term already secured.

Arsenal will once again be without suspended strik­er Eddie Nketiah. Alexandre Lacazette is likely to lead the line again with Pierre-Emer­ick Aubameyang in support.

The match features a number of Golden Boot hopefuls, with Aubameyang, Mohamed Salah, and Sadio Mane all looking to retain the award, having shared it in a three-way tie last season. Salah could make his 150th appearance for Liverpool.
