The Premier League's top two in Liverpool and Arsenal face off on Saturday in what promises to be a thrilling occasion at Anfield.
The Reds and Gunners are two of the strongest contenders in England's top-flight title race this season with only a point separating the sides ahead of kick-off.
Liverpool booked their place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals in midweek and the club's fans have been asked to boost the atmosphere at Anfield after a couple of quieter games against Manchester United and West Ham at the club's iconic stadium.
Arsenal, meanwhile, will be eager to maintain or increase their lead at the summit of the table but know a slip-up on Merseyside could hand the Reds top spot at Christmas.

Liverpool vs Arsenal score prediction
There is every reason to believe this will be an excellent game at Anfield on Saturday, even if last weekend's clash with Man Utd ended up being a rather tepid affair. There will be a tremendous sense of occasion, as both sets of fans know their team can lay down a marker in the Premier League title race with a win.
A combined 71 league goals have been scored by these sides so far this season and they also share identical defensive records.
There is plenty of attacking talent and both coaches will be playing to win the game, but the spoils may end up being shared here.
