Arsenal made it five wins in a row on Sunday when they beat Leicester City 2-0 at home to enter the top 4 of the league table.
Goals from Partey and Lacazette ensured another comprehensive win for the Gunners as they reached 51 points in the season.
With 3 matches in hand, the Gunners look favourites to finish in the 4th place if they can continue with the momentum attained over recent months.
On the other hand, Liverpool defeated Brighton 2-0 away in their previous Premier League clash on Saturday to keep pressure on City.

Diaz and Salah’s goals were enough for the Reds to get to within 4 points of City. If Liverpool can gain max points here, they get to within a point of Man City.
Hence, the Reds have it all to play for and target all three points at the Emirates in this behemoth clash.
Both sides last met in the EFL Cup Semi-final this season, where Liverpool won 2-0 over the two-legged tie.

Prediction: Arsenal 1-2 Liverpool
We expect an intense and quality clash here between two sides who’ve been in great form.
However; with the Reds knowing the significance of a win we see them nicking this one due to their in-form attack up top.
Players to watch out for: Martinelli, Saka, Salah and Jota.
