Match highlights of every Premier League game to be shown on the Sky Sports website and app just after full time; watch Liverpool vs Arsenal live on Sky Sports

Premier League leaders Arsenal will drop vital points in Sunday's trip to take on out-of-form Liverpool at Anfield.
Arsenal are running the gauntlet remarkably well - but boy will they need to stand strong at Anfield.
Since losing 3-1 to Manchester City, the Gunners have put together seven straight Premier League wins, showing confidence, professionalism and an abundance of attacking skill. This one will all be about mentality. Liverpool, out of form but still devilishly dangerous at Anfield, will be armed with big hitters. Jurgen Klopp's side have lost just three times at home across all competitions in their last 55 home matches and spanked Manchester United 7-0 in their last Anfield encounter.
Can Arsenal stand up in the cauldron? I think the prices are about right, with Arsenal 7/5 with Sky Bet for the away win, so I will perch myself on the fence and get involved in the offsides market.
There have been 5.7 total match offsides per game in nine matches between Klopp's Liverpool and Mikel Arteta's Arsenal in all competitions, including nine in the corresponding fixture at the Emirates Stadium earlier this season which ended 3-2. I am foreseeing a similar free-scoring encounter, which should lend itself to an offside frenzy with both teams employing a high line. The 13/8 with Sky Bet for six or more match offsides and the 5/2 for seven or more both appeal.
