The Gunners are unbeaten in four matches following a 3-3 draw away to West Ham United before the international break. Their run includes notable wins over both Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur, and Mikel Arteta will be eager for his troops to continue their march up the league standings. 
 
It has been an underwhelming season for the north London club all considered but Arsenal winger Willian believes that in Arteta the club have a manager equipped to lead them back to their former glory. 
 
"I think it has the potential to be a great project, it's a great club, it's in the hands of a good manager, he has everything to become one of the best managers in the world," Willian told ESPN Brazil.

"Arsenal has everything to become a powerhouse again, to fight for titles, to play in the Champions League again, that's what we players want.

"Arteta is doing a great job, he is always looking for the players in the best possible way, giving them ideas, guiding them, showing them what he wants. Arsenal is in good hands."
 
Liverpool have fallen out of the title race due largely to a surprising run of defeats at Anfield but for all their struggles at home in recent weeks, the Reds have won four of their last five away matches including a 1-0 victory at Wolves last time out.

Liverpool beat Arsenal 3-1 in the reverse fixture earlier this season. The Gunners opened the scoring at Anfield but goals from Sadio Mane, Andrew Robertson and Diogo Jota led Jurgen Klopp's troops to all three points.
