Mikel Arteta takes his Arsenal side to Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, with the Gunners looking to regroup following their exit from the Champions League.

A defeat at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday saw the Gunners be knocked out of the European Cup at the semi-final stage.

They now face the unenviable task of travelling to Premier League champions Liverpool.



A win for the visitors might be a bridge too far, but they have the quality to take a point which - in other circumstances - might have been considered a very good result.

Prediction: Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal

Liverpool made changes at Chelsea and I suspect they will at Brighton a week on Monday, but I think Arne Slot will see this as almost the first game of next season.

Arsenal are bruised after their defeat in Paris, and Slot will want to keep the wounds open.

A refreshed Liverpool playing in an Anfield party atmosphere in the first home match since the title was secured does not sound like the ideal afternoon for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta, especially not when the Gunners still need points to secure Champions League football.

I'm sure they'll get them eventually, but I just can't escape the notion that this is a game they really don't need.

Liverpool will get their first Anfield guard of honour and those on the Kop will be expecting a performance of champions to follow.

Arsenal will still be stinging from their Champions League exit and have looked vulnerable in the Premier League in recent weeks.

I think this could be a real day in the sun for the Reds as they celebrate their title triumph.

Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Arsenal
