The Gunners found themselves in a trailing position after an unexpected 0-2 away loss to Bournemouth last weekend. A critical moment was the first-half red card given to central defender William Saliba.
This ended the impressive 13-match unbeaten run in the Premier League for the London team, which included 11 wins and 2 draws. After eight rounds, Mikel Arteta’s team now trails Liverpool by 4 points and is three points behind Manchester City.
Ahead of their match against the league leaders, the Gunners come off a confident win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the third round of the Champions League, secured by an own goal from the Shakhtar goalkeeper midway through the first half.
The Reds maintain their lead in the Premier League, although the gap to their closest competitor remains narrow. Since their only loss of the season to Nottingham Forest (0-1), the team has secured four consecutive wins in the league.
Following comfortable victories over three teams in the lower half of the table, Liverpool won a hard-fought match at Anfield against Chelsea in the last round, finishing 2-1.
The team’s strong defense also stands out, having conceded only three goals—their best record at this stage of the season in the last six years. Unlike their opponent, Liverpool had an away Champions League match midweek, where they defeated Leipzig 1-0. This marked their third victory in the tournament.
