The Premier League's fourth and first-placed teams square off in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday when Arsenal host Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal vs Liverpool score prediction
Arsenal looked leggy throughout the brutal festive period as they dropped crucial points in the title race but Arteta will see this mammoth tie as a chance for his side to lay down a marker and get back to winning ways.
Their prospects of progression to the fourth round are boosted by Salah's absence but Liverpool still boast goal threats who will be confident of breaching a Gunners defence that has been leaky of late.
An entertaining clash is in store and it might take a replay back on Merseyside to decide the winner of this FA Cup tie.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool
