Arsenal travel to Anfield this afternoon for a Premier League clash that could see them break a 14‑year league winless streak at Liverpool’s ground.

Broadcast and streaming options

Domestic television coverage will be exclusive to Sky Sports, with the live feed available on both the Main Event and Premier League channels. Sky Go will stream the game for subscribers on laptops, tablets, mobiles and web browsers. For viewers without a Sky contract, the NOW app offers a day‑or‑monthly sports membership that includes the fixture. In the United States, Peacock will carry the live stream, while Spanish‑language viewers can watch on Telemundo. Radio listeners across the UK can follow live commentary on talkSPORT, with local BBC radio stations providing additional coverage for each side.

Team news and availability

Arsenal head into Anfield with several absences. Injuries have sidelined Bukayo Saka and William Saliba, while Max Dowman stays out due to the suspension earned from his red card versus Fleetwood Town. Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori are listed as doubts, while Noni Madueke’s fitness will be assessed after a full training session on Saturday. According to The Daily Cannon, Rice, Calafiori and Christos Tzolis took part in Friday's training and may be fit for selection provided they emerge unharmed from Saturday’s session.

Liverpool also face fitness questions. Dominik Szoboszlai and Víctor Muñoz are the main concerns, though the Evening Standard suggests they could return to the squad.

Arteta’s challenge and the Anfield hoodoo

Mikel Arteta has publicly challenged his players to end the 14‑year wait for a league win at Anfield. “It’s 14 years that we haven’t won there, so it’s time to do it,” he told reporters, according to the Daily Cannon. The manager also highlighted the significance of the fixture, calling it a “big game on Sunday” and describing the chance to face former childhood teammate Andoni Iraola as a “privilege” and a “blessing.”

Arteta’s pre‑match press conference, reported by the Evening Standard, featured a strong defence of Max Dowman after the youngster’s dismissal at Fleetwood. The Arsenal manager remarked, “This is the Premier League, not Disneyland,” and voiced his displeasure over the FA’s denial of Arsenal’s appeal concerning the red card.

Match stakes and recent form

Both sides arrive at Anfield on the back of contrasting recent results. Arsenal have won their last three Premier League matches and are looking to bounce back from Tuesday's’s shock Carabao Cup defeat to fourth‑tier Fleetwood Town. Their record against Liverpool in the league this season is strong, having lost only once in eight meetings, a 1‑0 loss at Anfield last season.

Liverpool, meanwhile, sit fifth in the table after a five‑match winning run across all competitions, highlighted by a penalty shootout victory over Chelsea in midweek. The Reds will be eager to reassert authority after the cup upset and to keep pace with the title race.

With the broadcast options clearly outlined and both squads coping with injury concerns, Sunday’s fixture stands out as a pivotal moment in the early‑season Premier League narrative.
