This weekend sees Arsenal and Liverpool come up against each other in a fixture that could have a major bearing on who will be playing Champions League football next season.

It is a case of make or break for Liverpool who currently sit in fifth place, six points behind the Gunners.

A win could see them close the gap on Arsenal to just three points and give them an outside chance of overhauling the north London side in the remaining seven games of the season.

Arsenal are currently the Premier League’s in-form team having won seven in a row, helped partly by the goalscoring endeavours of Olivier Giroud who has eight in his last seven matches.

However, despite their loss to Manchester United last time out, Liverpool come into the clash in their own rich vein of form having lost only three in their last 15 games, and being unbeaten in six games away from home.

Sport's reporter Jon Naylor takes us through the five major talking points ahead of Saturday’s massive clash.
