Sunday's headline event sees table-toppers Liverpool take on an Arsenal side without Wiliam Saliba, as they look to get back to winning ways in the Premier League after defeat to Bournemouth.
Ex-Reds keeper David James and former Premier League striker Jermaine Beckford join The Football News Sshow to discuss the weekend's match at Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal will be missing a handful of key players for this weekend's visit of Liverpool in the Premier League, including captain Martin Odegaard and centre half William Saliba.
Arsenal supporter Alex Moneypenny tells The Football News Show why he is nervous about facing Arne Slot's side but feels victory could provide the statement win to underline their title credentials.

The Liverpool full-back has been heavily involved in Slot's excellent start to life on Merseyside and will be seeking further success when travelling to title contenders Arsenal on Sunday.
Having been used in a variety of positions, Alexander-Arnold told the club website, external
"It depends on the game [how he's used] because if you think of Man United away, I played almost like a number 10," he explained. "I was higher up the pitch because of the way they pressed.
"In certain games, I'll be inside because of the way they [the opposition] press – sometimes they press differently. It all varies on how they press.
"The manager will dissect how they press so we can outnumber the way they press. If they press with three, we'll have four players around, so that we can play through them. If they press with a two then there'll be three players, et cetera. It's just about who those players are and where it works best.
"So, wherever the manager tells me to be, I'll be there because he'll tell me that's most likely where you'll get the ball. And if that changes, then he'll tell me during the game, 'You're not getting the ball there, try there and maybe surprise him in there and see if that works'.
"Throughout the game, there are a lot of things going on but if I understand it, then it'll work.
"So far it has."

Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.
For week nine he takes on rapper Nemzzz, who supports Manchester United.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
I don't like to mention that I said Everton would be fine, but I did.
After losing their first four games of the season, Sean Dyche's side are now unbeaten in their past four and climbing the table.
They are playing like a Dyche team too - hardworking and streetwise, but with a bit of quality too. Dwight McNeil is having an exceptional season.
This is a test for them because Fulham are one of those teams who can beat anyone on their day. They have lost their past two games, against Manchester City and Aston Villa, but they had good spells in both matches.
I wouldn't be surprised if either side won it, which is why I am going in the middle with my prediction.
Nemzzz's prediction: 2-2
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones put in a player of the match performance in his side's 2-1 Premier League win over Chelsea on Sunday, but will he drop to the bench against Arsenal?

Image source, ReutersIt was interesting to hear from Arne Slot on how he approached the daunting task of replacing former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
The Dutchman has guided his team to the top of the Premier League table, with seven wins in eight games - and 11 victories from 12 overall.
In his usually calm and composed manner, Slot explained how he did not spend his summer setting points targets but was more concerned about the methods he was going to implement.
"The only thing I was thinking of was how I am going to bring the best out of this team that has been managed by Jurgen for so long," said Slot before his side's highly anticipated game at Arsenal on Sunday.
"How can we continue that? How am I going to do the individual and team meetings with the players? You don't think about points.
"It's about the process we are doing and what we do on a daily basis. In my experience until now, that leads in the end to points.
"There were expectations from me about how I wanted to see the team playing and that is matching my expectations at the moment."
Whatever Slot is doing is working so far but, with him pointing out how important gaining or dropping points against title rivals can be in the season, there is no sign of him getting carried away.
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot says he had no expectations of what he could achieve in his first season when he succeeded Jurgen Klopp in the summer.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Arsenal (kick-off 16:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Diogo Jota remains sidelined for Sunday's trip to Emirates Stadium but Federico Chiesa and Conor Bradley might be available.
Goalkeeper Alisson "is progressing well" but is not expected to return before the Brighton Carabao Cup tie at the end of October.
On opponents Arsenal: "It's an away game, so it's even more difficult than Chelsea at home and we know how difficult that was."
He said losing or beating title "competitors" is "always important" because it plays a large part in how the table finishes, adding: "Nobody knows who the biggest competitors will be at this early stage, but Arsenal will be one so winning points against them is important."
On the Reds' strong defensive record: "There are two reasons why we don’t concede a lot. Most games we have dominated and controlled, so you have the ball but also during difficult parts [of games] our work rate is incredible to not concede."
He said the players "are experienced enough" to deal with the "challenges" that see them play three consecutive away games within one week. "It’s part of our lives and it is what the players are used to. You know these challenges are here and they know how to look after their bodies."
In response to whether he has exceeded his own personal goals since joining: "There were no expectations from me. I was just thinking about how I was going to try and bring the best out of this team. The expectation was in the way I wanted to see the team play and they are matching that."

Image source, Getty ImagesEverton boss Sean Dyche says Michael Keane is "a good weapon to have" because he provides a goal threat despite playing as a centre-back.
Keane was criticised by supporters as the Toffees lost their first four Premier League matches in their worst start to a season since 1966.
But Dyche's side seemed to have turned the corner, unbeaten in their past four and while Keane has impressed in defence, he has also scored two goals.
"We threw him on up front a few times, not last season but the season before, just to try to disturb the game a little bit," Dyche said. "If it lands in the box, he's as calm a finisher as I've seen and he enjoys scoring. He doesn't look nervous in front of goal - he just looks as calm as you like, as calm as the person he often is.
"It's a great skill to have. At my previous club [Burnley], he was a threat from set-pieces and since I've been here he's been a threat from set-pieces.
"He's a good weapon to have in the box but he's certainly a figure who I think can get more goals."

As Liverpool prepare for their trip to Arsenal this weekend, former Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter has praised the club for allowing Arne Slot to begin his reign under "stable conditions".
Speaking on the Planet Premier League podcast, Potter said: "It looks like he has been there for a while. You have got to give credit to Liverpool as well, because don't forget all of the so-called 'experts' were talking about them not signing any players in the window and losing out on players, etc.
"It wasn't a crisis, but the club were almost getting criticism for it. But maybe they just looked at it and thought: 'Actually, our squad is quite good. We are quite stable here. We just need a good coach.'
"They have identified that. Arne Slot's record at Feyenoord was fantastic - he did an amazing job there - so he is obviously really competent.
"Liverpool were very confident with who they had [brought in] and then they have just allowed him to work in stable conditions.
"As a coach, that is what we all would like."
