Arsenal vs Liverpool Preview: How to Watch on TV, Live Stream, Kick Off Time & Team News

Champions Liverpool head to the Emirates on Wednesday night to take on Arsenal, in a match that means much more to the hosts than the visitors.


The Gunners were dealt a blow to their hopes of Europa League qualification on Sunday, losing 2-1 to Spurs in the first men's north London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to fall to ninth in the league – four points from a Europa League berth.


Lacazette opened the scoring against Spurs.

The Gunners need a win to have any hope of competing in the Europa League next season, while Liverpool can only afford to drop two more points all season if they're to match Manchester City's record of 100 points in a single Premier League season.
