There is little time to reset after the international break for two of the Premier League’s top five as Arsenal travel to Anfield to meet Liverpool.
After defeat to West Ham in their final fixture before the international break, Jurgen Klopp’s side have now slipped to fourth in the Premier League, just one place and two points ahead of their opponents on Saturday.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have rebounded after a disastrous start to the season and strung together nine league games without defeat, but, at a venue where the club have struggled, will face a big test of their top four credentials.
Liverpool have won their last five home games against Arsenal and will be keen to get their title tilt back on track against their visitors from London.
Mohamed Salah is the only goalscorer in the Premier League to have reached double figures, with ten in his eleven appearances so far this season.
Date, kick-off time and venue
The match at Anfield is scheduled for a 5.30pm GMT kick-off on Saturday November 20 2021

Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction
This is reasonably tough to call, with both sides coming out of the international break and with a couple of key injury concerns. Arsenal are in stronger recent form but tend to struggle at Anfield — a tight home win seems the likeliest result.
