With this form built up, the Gunners are eyeing the Premier League runners-up spot after 9 seasons whereas Liverpool are targeting a second consecutive Champions League spot to strengthen their position among the top teams.
Arsenal have earned only 0.9 points/ game against the top 8 teams, as compared to 2.55 points/ game against the other 12 teams. They are yet to face Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United. These 3 games are their trump cards. If Arsenal want to show the world that they are a dominant force, they have to prove that they can win these super big games during crunch time.
Having lost only 1 out of the last 14 league games, Liverpool have recovered strongly (winning only 6 games in the first 16 league games) from their dismal start to compete for a Champions League spot for the second consecutive year. The Reds earned 1.31 points/ game in the first 16 league games whereas they earned 2.36 points/ game in the rest of the games. This renewed spirit could help Kopites achieve their objective.
