Liverpool and Arsenal in the Hunt for Premier League Glory
Liverpool and Arsenal remain neck-and-neck in the race for the Premier League title.

With crucial fixtures approaching, both sides will face significant tests of their title credentials.
Liverpool’s Next Five Premier League Fixtures
Liverpool enter a pivotal period in February, with challenging games that will test their resolve. Despite their commanding position at the top of the table, Arne Slot’s side must remain vigilant.
Bournemouth vs Liverpool (01/02/25 – 15:00 GMT)
Liverpool kick off February with a tricky away fixture against Bournemouth, one of the most in-form teams in the league. The Cherries have scored nine goals in their last two games, including impressive performances against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest. Liverpool’s defense will need to be at its best to secure a result on the south coast.
Everton vs Liverpool (12/02/25 – 19:30 GMT)
The Reds’ next challenge is the Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park. This could be Liverpool’s final Premier League trip to Goodison, barring an FA Cup meeting. With Everton showing signs of resurgence, this fixture is bound to be fiercely contested.
Liverpool vs Wolves (16/02/25 – 14:00 GMT)
Liverpool return to Anfield to host Wolves. The Reds have a strong record against Wolves, winning 12 of their last 14 meetings. However, complacency must be avoided as they aim to keep their title charge on track.
Man City vs Liverpool (23/02/25 – 16:30 GMT)
A visit to the Etihad Stadium is always daunting, but Manchester City’s struggles this season might work in Liverpool’s favor. The Reds haven’t won a Premier League match at the Etihad since 2015, but a repeat of that 4-1 victory would be a massive boost.
Liverpool vs Newcastle (26/02/25 – 20:15 GMT)
February ends with a blockbuster clash against Newcastle United at Anfield. Their previous meeting was a thrilling 3-3 draw at St. James’ Park, and this game promises more drama. Newcastle haven’t won at Anfield since 1995, giving Liverpool the upper hand.
Arsenal’s Next Five Premier League Fixtures
While Liverpool face some formidable opponents, Arsenal’s upcoming games are equally challenging. Mikel Arteta’s side must navigate these fixtures carefully to maintain their title hopes.
Arsenal vs Man City (02/02/25 – 16:30 GMT)
Arsenal host Manchester City in a high-stakes match that could shape the title race. The Gunners are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Pep Guardiola’s side, and a win here would be a massive statement.
Leicester vs Arsenal (15/02/25 – 12:30 GMT)
Next, Arsenal visit Leicester City, a team they’ve already defeated convincingly this season. However, an away game against the Foxes is never straightforward.
Arsenal vs West Ham (22/02/25 – 15:00 GMT)
The Gunners then face West Ham United at the Emirates. Arsenal have already scored five past the Hammers this season, but they must guard against any slip-ups.
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal (26/02/25 – 19:30 GMT)
Arsenal travel to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest in a tricky encounter. Forest’s strong home form and recent success against Arsenal make this a nerve-wracking fixture for the north London club.
Man Utd vs Arsenal (09/03/25 – 16:30 GMT)
The Gunners close out this stretch with a visit to Old Trafford. Manchester United, who knocked Arsenal out of the FA Cup earlier this season, will be keen to derail their rivals’ title ambitions.
