Paul Merson argues in his Sky Sports column that Liverpool must defeat Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday to remain credible contenders in the Premier League title race. Mikel Arteta's defending champions currently lead Andoni Iraola's Liverpool by six points heading into the match, while Liverpool enters the clash on a five-game winning run.
Merson notes that Arsenal has not won a league match at Anfield since 2012, when Arteta was still a player. He also highlights Arsenal's challenging upcoming fixture schedule, suggesting Bukayo Saka's injury could test replacements like Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke during a demanding sequence of matches.
