Arsenal will be looking to continue their impressive start to the 2020-21 campaign when they travel to Premier League champions Liverpool on Monday night.

Mikel Arteta's side have also made a perfect start to their 2020-21 Premier League season, beating Fulham and West Ham United to put an early six points on the board.
