Manchester City may have ramped up the pressure with an emphatic 4-1 win over Southampton on Saturday evening, but Arsenal are still in pole position to land the Premier League title.
The Gunners head into Sunday's seismic showdown with Liverpool at Anfield with a five point cushion over the reigning champions, who welcome the Londoners to the Etihad Stadium later this month.
And while a trip to Merseyside is a difficult fixture on paper, Mikel Arteta's side will smell blood when they come face to face with a Liverpool side who have endured a nightmare campaign. Here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest headlines from the Emirates Stadium ahead of the big match...
Join the debate! How do you think Arsenal will fare against Liverpool on Sunday? Let us know here.
Arteta sent selection warning
Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon has insisted that Mikel Arteta could boost Arsenal's title hopes by starting Kieran Tierney ahead of summer signing Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Tierney had established himself as the Gunners' first-choice left-back but has been forced to settle for spot on the bench for the majority of the campaign since Zinchenko moved to the Emirates from Manchester City.

Arsenal head to Liverpool on Sunday bidding to keep their healthy lead at the top of the Premier League intact - but doing so will be easier said than done.

Despite a promising start to his Arsenal career, it's safe to say that Aubameyang's comments have well and truly backfired.
