Liverpool have not lost a Premier League home game against Arsenal since a 2-0 defeat back in September 2012, a match current boss Mikel Arteta played in for the Gunners.
Arsenal are unbeaten in five top-flight fixtures versus the Reds (W2, D3), their longest undefeated run against them since an eight-game sequence between 2007 and 2011.
Arne Slot‘s Reds could become the third team to lose back-to-back Premier League matches immediately after clinching the title, following Arsenal in 1997-98 and Chelsea in 2005-06.
The last time Liverpool lost consecutive top-flight fixtures was in March and April 2023, against Bournemouth and Man City.
They are unbeaten in 15 home league games since losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest on 14 September (W13, D2).
Virgil van Dijk is set to make his 300th Premier League appearance. The only other Dutchmen to reach the milestone are George Boateng (384), Dennis Bergkamp (315) and Edwin van der Sar (313).
Mohamed Salah has 185 career goals in 298 Premier League appearances, and needs two more to equal Andy Cole as the third highest scorer in the competition. That includes 11 against Arsenal – he has only netted more against Manchester United and Tottenham.
Salah has a combined tally of 46 Premier League goals and assists this season, one shy of the competition record shared by Cole (1993-94) and Alan Shearer (1994-95), both for Newcastle over the old 42-game format.
The Egyptian King has 18 Premier League assists this season, two short of the record set by Thierry Henry in 2002-03 and matched by Kevin de Bruyne in 2019-20.
