Liverpool and their fans continue the title celebrations this weekend as they host rivals Arsenal at Anfield.
Mikel Arteta’s side will arrive on Merseyside a wounded outfit after Wednesday evening’s Champions League semi-final exit to Paris Saint-Germain.
As such, a victory against the champions following a show of respect in the form of a guard of honour would be just what the doctor ordered for the Gunners.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Preview
Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat at Chelsea last weekend clearly meant very little to the players, though Arne Slot’s men should be eager to respond against Arsenal.
As well as playing in front of their own fans, the Gunners have been the team chasing them all season, so securing a victory would taste very sweet indeed.
And Arteta’s side have really been struggling of late, with two defeats to PSG sitting either side of a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth last weekend.
Arsenal now face a battle to keep hold of second spot in the table and if they fail to win any of their remaining three matches, a Top 5 finish is potentially in jeopardy.
So while this is not the title decider many viewed it as earlier in the campaign due to the Gunners’ shortcomings, it should still be a high-octane match with plenty of drama.
Arsenal’s inability to finish chances was more apparent than ever across the two legs against PSG and that is something Arteta will be keen to start addressing before the summer break.
For Slot, he will use the remaining games to assess which areas of the pitch require investment during the transfer window, although the right-back department is already an obvious one.
Liverpool local Trent Alexander-Arnold announced he will be leaving the club shortly after the win over Chelsea and one of the most interesting narratives is the reception he will receive at Anfield later today.
Alexander-Arnold played a key role in the Reds’ equaliser at the Emirates earlier in the season as Mohamed Salah converted to make it 2-2, laying down a title marker in the process.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Betting Tips
Mohamed Salah to have over 1.5 shots on target @ 3.00
Salah has 11 goals in 15 Premier League appearances against Arsenal and Arteta’s insistence on playing an inverted left-back means the Egyptian should get chances aplenty. Salah has recorded the joint-most shots on target in the division this season with 58.
David Raya to make over 3.5 saves @ 2.75
Without the injured Gabriel Magalhaes, Arsenal’s defence is not quite the force it was and we expect David Raya to be kept busy. The Spanish goalkeeper made six saves in the 2-1 defeat at the Parc des Princes.
Player to score or assist – Declan Rice @ 3.40
While Arsenal have struggled of late as a whole, Rice has been a shining light in an advanced midfield role. The England international scored against Bournemouth last weekend and his prowess from set-pieces means he is always a candidate for assists. Rice has already tallied seven assists in the Premier League this season.
