Arne Slot’s Reds have found the net in each of their last 36 Premier League outings, which is level with a sequence recorded by Jürgen Klopp’s team between March 2019 and February 2020.
The reigning champions have scored in 98 per cent (39 out of 40) of their Premier League games under Slot – the highest percentage of any manager in the competition’s history. The sole exception was the 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in September last year.
Ahead of the clash between last season’s top two at Anfield, here are more interesting pre-match facts and figures, courtesy of club statistician Ged Rea and Opta…
Liverpool are winless in six Premier League matches against Arsenal (drawn four, lost two), their longest run without a victory versus the Gunners since going eight winless matches in a row between October 2007 and April 2011.
The Reds have won 25 Premier League games against Arsenal, with the Gunners winning 23 and 23 matches finishing in a draw. Only versus Everton (26) have Liverpool drawn more Premier League games.
Slot’s side are unbeaten in their last 18 top-flight fixtures at Anfield, since the defeat by Forest, and have not lost a home league game in the month of August since 2015 (won 12 and drawn two since).
Liverpool have not lost any of their last seven Premier League games that have come immediately before an international break (won six, drew one), winning each of the last four without conceding. Arsenal, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last 13 such fixtures (won 10, drew three).
The last three Premier League games between Liverpool and Arsenal at Anfield have all been drawn, while the Gunners are winless in their last 12 away games against the Reds (drew five, lost seven) since a 2-0 win back in September 2012 when current manager Mikel Arteta started.
