Liverpool will return to Anfield this Sunday when they host Arsenal as Premier League champions.

Liverpool have not lost a Premier League home game against Arsenal since a 2-0 defeat in September 2012, a match current boss Mikel Arteta started for the Gunners. The Londoners are unbeaten in five top-flight fixtures versus the Reds (W2, D3), their longest undefeated run against them since an eight-game sequence between 2007 and 2011.

Opta’s supercomputer, a machine so notable it was name-checked by Arsenal manager Arteta himself last week, still has them with a 79 per cent chance of finishing second, with City favourites to come third, Newcastle for fourth and barely anything to choose between Chelsea and Forest over who’ll complete the top five.
