Liverpool’s first home game since clinching the Premier League title is against Arsenal this weekend.

For a while this fixture was touted as a potential title decider, however the Gunners weren’t able to match Liverpool’s consistency which saw Arne Slot’s side crowned champions of England with four games to spare.

Now, the Reds will not be awarded the Premier League trophy on Sunday as those celebrations will have to wait until after the final home game of the season against Crystal Palace on May 25.

That said, the newly crowned champions will be looking to bounce back from defeat away to Chelsea last weekend and open up an 18-point gap over Arsenal to really rub salt into the wounds.

The Gunners head to Merseyside after suffering a Champions League semi-final exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain in midweek and still have a job on their hands to qualify for the competition next season.

Liverpool vs Arsenal is scheduled for a 4.30pm BST kick-off on Sunday, May 11, 2025.

The match will take place at Anfield, Liverpool.

Liverpool vs Arsenal team news

Liverpool’s only injury concern remains Joe Gomez. The defender has been out since February and it remains to be seen if he will play again this season.

Elsewhere, Slot could hand recalls to Andy Robertson, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai after opting for heavy rotation at Stamford Bridge last weekend.

Mikel Arteta welcomed back Riccardo Calafiori and Jorginho in midweek but is expected to be without Gabriel, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu for the trip to Anfield. Meanwhile the game could come too soon for Kai Havertz to make his return from injury.

Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction

Arsenal have struggled in the Premier League of late and it is because of their patchy form that a Champions League qualification place has not been secured as of yet.

Under Arteta, their results away from home against a traditional big six side has vastly improved but form is not something that can be turned on at the flick of a switch as they are facing a Liverpool side that are impressive at home.

Liverpool to win, 2-1
