With a seven-point gap between them and the Gunners, they’ll fancy their chances of breaking into the top-four.
As for Liverpool, the title-chasing Reds are yet to miss a game despite recording three positive COVID-19 tests in the week. They’ll look to pile on the pressure on Manchester City, with only a single point standing between them and the league leaders in second-place.
