📊EOTK Stats Pack: Liverpool v Arsenal - Form guide, the fortunes of league leaders at Christmas and MORE

We analyse some of the key stats and info ahead of this festive clash of two Premier League title contenders!

Christmas is a period to be spent with family, taking some time to unwind, decelerate the pace of life and appreciate the finer things in our world.

Or, if you’re a Liverpool fan, to gear up for a top-of-the-table Premier League showdown which could have a telling impact on the title race!

While Arsenal are fulfilling pre-season expectations by challenging at the summit, the Reds are exceeding theirs by being firmly in the conversation for potential glory as we approach the midway point of the campaign.

Although both teams might view a draw as a decent result, they’ll also realise that, with a Manchester City resurgence likely to materialise in the New Year, victory this evening could send out a massive statement of intent as to their title aspirations, and would leave them top of the table on Christmas Day.

It’s the first of three meetings in six weeks between Liverpool and Arsenal, with the possibility of a fourth if their FA Cup third round clash in early January is a draw and consequently requires a replay.

This festive face-off duly offers an opportunity to strike a psychological blow in what could be one of the most intriguing rivalries of the season.

Ahead of the Anfield showdown, let’s take a look at the form guide for both teams, as well as their head-to-head Premier League record, and explore the historical likelihood of the Christmas Day leaders going on to lift the trophy in the summer.
