Arsenal arrives at Anfield at precisely the right moment and could exploit Liverpool's defensive vulnerabilities to secure an early advantage in the Premier League title race.

That's according to Gary Neville, who has tipped Mikel Arteta's squad to emerge victorious on Sunday - once again showing his loyalty to Liverpool's biggest rival, Manchester United.

I'm going to let him (Carragher) pick the score, but I think Arsenal will win



It will be the land of the giants with Arsenal on Sunday.



"He'll go with (Mikel) Merino, (Declan) Rice, (Martin) Zubimendi, then (Eberechi) Eze or (Leandro) Trossard, but he'll have the big back four, four or five in the box, and they'll score from set pieces

I think Arsenal will score two from set pieces, Liverpool will score one, and it will be 2-1 to Arsenal."

Arsenal icon Ian Wright is equally optimistic about his former club's prospects this weekend and echoed Neville's sentiment

"I think Liverpool will score one, but I'm going 2-1 to Arsenal," he declared.

"If that (Liverpool) defence did what they did against Bournemouth, we can win the game."

Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk has cautioned his teammates that they must raise their standards to overcome Arsenal

We have a week now to prepare and we will recover now and then we have to be ready.

"The Premier League has no easy games so it doesn't really matter who you are going to face - it is always going to be difficult, especially when we're at the stage we're at right now where the transfer window is still open."
