The Saturday evening kick-off sees perhaps the game of the weekend at Anfield, as leaders Liverpool battle Arsenal.
Liverpool are in breathtaking form, as they climbed six points above Manchester City, as they beat Newcastle United on Boxing Day.
Arsenal, however, were held to a 1-1 draw with Brighton and Hove Albion on the same day.
These sides have met each other already this campaign, with James Milner's opener being cancelled out by a late Alexandre Lacazette equaliser.
Team News
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will most likely rotate his side, with Fabinho and Naby Keita looking likely for a recall.
James Milner and Dominic Solanke are both sidelined, but Alberto Moreno could make a return to the matchday squad.
Arsenal are having somewhat of a defensive crisis; with Hector Bellerin and Rob Holding still out - and Nacho Monreal is an uncertainty for the Gunners.
Shkodran Mustafi is close to a return from a hamstring injury, but the game may come too soon for him.
Captain Laurent Koscielny should be okay to play despite picking up a minor foot issue in their draw on Boxing Day.
The Managers
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been very complimentary of Arsenal's front through of Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with them both, especially the latter, producing excellent form of late.
"They [Arsenal] are good, strong with the ball and very lively. Their counter-attacks are crazy-quick," Klopp explained.
"Aubameyang and Lacazette are a good strike two. Outstanding strikers up front, quick on the wings - a really good team."
Arsenal boss Unai Emery is sure Liverpool can remain unbeaten in the Premier League, something only Arsenal have managed to do in the competition's era.
"They can do that because they are doing it at the moment. We played against Liverpool three [seasons] ago with Sevilla in the final of the Europa League and I look at this progress and they are a very good example," Emery said.
"This progress is also one example for us, now, in our moment. But we need to be very, very demanding of ourselves to do this step quickly in our way.
"But we need also time and sometimes the patience is very important for us."
