Arsenal face one of the biggest hurdles left on their road to the Premier League title when they travel to Anfield to take on Liverpool.

The Gunners began the weekend eight points clear of closest rivals Manchester City, but Pep Guardiola’s side have a game in hand.

Arsenal haven’t showed any nerves yet as they approach a first league crown in 19 years, winning their last seven Premier League games in a row and scoring eight goals in the last two.

In contrast, Liverpool have mustered just one goal in their last four games, picking up a 0-0 draw against Chelsea last time out after three consecutive defeats to Bournemouth, Real Madrid and Man City.

The first meeting between the two sides this season was a thriller, Arsenal running out 3-2 winners at the Emirates in October thanks to a Bukayo Saka double.

Kick-off is at 4.30pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League (opens in new tab) wherever you are.

VPN guide

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
