It is difficult to remember the last time Arsenal went into a match against Liverpool as the favourites.
Arsenal, though, have a new-found confidence this season and there is a clear desire for them to play their own game, no matter who they face. The Gunners have looked to control every game they play and, even against a dangerous counter-attacking team such as Tottenham, they dominated possession. They are in the position they are, which is well deserved.” During that time, Klopp has lost just once in the [Premier League](/topic/premier-league) to Arsenal, as his side have become one of the game’s most dominant forces. Klopp’s men may have a game in hand over Arsenal but they already trail them by 11 points. [Mikel Arteta](/topic/mikel-arteta)’s table-toppers have lost just once in all competitions.
Takehiro Tomiyasu has vowed to fight for his place in the Arsenal team and believes competing with Ben White will make him a better player.
But we are better than last season and we are confident to beat them. We are ready to beat them. Arteta’s side have lost just once in all competitions and they beat Bodo/Glimt to stay top of their Europa League group too. Arsenal cruised to victory at home on Thursday against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, with striker Eddie Nketiah opening the scoring in a 3-0 win after 23 minutes. We couldn’t control the game for 90 minutes, so for me it was not enough. “But if you want to get back your position you have to be much, much better.

Chris Sutton expects Arsenal to simply turn up and steamroll Liverpool on Sunday despite all but writing off the Gunners under Mikel Arteta.
Supporters are allowed to dream but must be wary of the volatile media furore that engulfs the modern game. Despite this, Arsenal go into the clash as overwhelming favourites. Despite their stuttering start, Liverpool should provide a far sterner examination of what the Gunners can achieve in 2022-23. “The way Arsenal went at Tottenham last weekend was impressive and bodes well for this game too,” Sutton wrote. Jurgen Klopp's side were very comfortable against Rangers in the Champions League on Tuesday but they weren't tested defensively. However, the brutal reality is that Spurs were the first top side Arsenal have beaten all season.
Mikel Arteta has found success with playing Ben White at right-back ahead of Takehiro Tomiyasu so far this season.
But we are better than last season and we are confident to beat them. I need to learn from him a lot of things during the training sessions as well. We are ready to beat them. The 23-year-old added: “Liverpool is still Liverpool. Even if it is Europa League or a cup game, I want to help the team on the pitch. After Eddie’s goal and Rob’s goal, the game was a bit scrappy. The Arsenal star has since doubled down on his vow to improve and reclaim his right-back spot following the 3-0 win against Bodo/Glimt. [Saliba, Kieran Tierney, Oleksandr Zinchenko](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/news/saka-contract-arsenal-saliba-zinchenko-25202737?int_source=nba) and White have meant opportunities in the first team have been limited so far this season. The Japanese defender continued: "Competition makes me a lot better. “But if you want to get back your position you have to be much, much better. [23-year-old defender signed from Bologna in a £16million deal last summer](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/fixtures-results/arteta-arsenal-saliba-van-dijk-25204358) but missed large periods of last term through injury.

Paul Merson is tipping Arsenal to maintain their spot at the top of the Premier League table by claiming a 2-1 win over Liverpool FC at The Emirates on.
Arteta added: “What I can say is that I’m really happy to have him in the team. For a manager, this is the best moment. There was no way Arsenal were going to lose that game, I’m not as sure with this one as it represents a different test for the table toppers. “If Arsenal win against Liverpool and manage to stay close to Manchester City in the coming months, they could well be contenders for the Premier League title this season. “Liverpool played four forwards against Rangers and dominated the game as they secured a 2-0 win at Anfield. The Reds will have a bit more rest heading into the much-anticipated Premier League clash, but on current form, Arsenal are probably favorites as things stand.
Since Mikel Arteta took over at the Emirates nearly three years ago, the Londoners have regularly had their performances and results against Jurgen Klopp ...
What will hearten Kopites further is that just one of their three defeats came without the need for a penalty shootout - and that was after they had already been crowned as Premier League winners back in July 2020. Positive omens and good memories if nothing else, but Liverpool have rarely played such a high-flying Arsenal as the one that await them this weekend. Or has the hyperbole that has greeted both sides' respective starts to the campaign been overblown? These are the questions that 90 minutes at Emirates will, one way or another, provide answers to. They have lots of talent in the last few years. It's why Sunday's meeting promises to be a fascinating one for the neutrals. Defeat will all but extinguish their flickering ambitions before the Autumn leaves have even fallen off the trees. Tuesday's Champions League win over Rangers was much more like it for an out-of-sorts side. A 4-0 home win at Anfield laid bare just how far ahead Liverpool really were at the time, however. The sight of Arsenal, though, has often brought out the best in Klopp's players across the last seven years. [Klopp](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/jurgen-klopp) said when asked about the upturn in fortunes Arsenal have had this term under Arteta. "I have lots of respect for him.
