When Liverpool face Arsenal, one thing that is usually guaranteed is goals and lots of them.
The current Premier League leaders host the second-place Gunners and you can listen to the action LIVE on talkSPORT this Saturday at 17:30.
It is a fixture that rarely disappoints and this match is traditionally a significant one in the calendar.
Last season, Roberto Firmino netted a brilliant hat-trick to inspire an incredible comeback from Liverpool, who had gone behind in the 11th minute, as they ran out eventual 5-1 winners.
In fact, since the inception of the Premier League in 1992, these two sides have only shared four goalless encounters and the last came back in 2015.
On average, in the last decade, this match offers up at least three goals per-game and there have been 79 goals shared between the two in that time.
The highest scoring fixture they have had came in August 2016, when both kicked off their season with in a seven-goal thriller, which Liverpool edged 4-3.
Thierry Henry’s famous treble when Arsenal twice came back to win 4-2 in 2004, or the 4-4 draw in 2009, where Andrey Arshavin incredibly netted all four goals on Merseyside for the Gunners, are instant classics.
Five years later, Liverpool, who had a habit of starting well under Brendan Rodgers, blew Arsenal away with a stunning display of attacking football, taking a 4-0 lead after just 20 minutes en route to a 5-1 victory.
There was a pre-Christmas cracker two seasons ago in a match that had six different goal scorers and finished 3-3.
Both sides can point to a potent attack, with Jurgen Klopp able to call upon Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Firmino and his side has already netted six times in August.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery has Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has scored two in as many games thus far, Alexandre Lacazette and new signing Nicolas Pepe.
Expect to see the net bulge at Anfield.
