Liverpool host Arsenal on a five-match winning run, with Anfield's 2012 record in the balance

Arsenal have not won at Anfield since 2012, and they get another chance to change that when they visit Liverpool on Sunday at 16:30 GMT.

The last Arsenal win there came in 2012, and Mikel Arteta was playing in that team. He is now their manager, and his side are the reigning Premier League champions. Liverpool are managed by Andoni Iraola, who took over this summer.

Liverpool's only defeat of the season so far came against Manchester City on 11 October. Since then they have won five games in a row in all competitions, according to BBC Sport. That is their first run of five straight wins since the start of last season, under Arne Slot, the manager before Iraola.

The run included a comeback from behind to beat Villarreal at Anfield, a Premier League win over Brighton, and a penalty shootout victory over Chelsea in the League Cup. Liverpool have also changed their starting line-up, meaning the eleven players who begin a match, three or more times in nine games in a row. Iraola said he did not have much experience of coaching two games a week when he arrived. He has had to manage his squad carefully as a result.

His teams are known for fast, direct counter-attacks, where the ball is won and driven forward quickly. Under him, Liverpool also want to keep the ball more deliberately. Iraola has said possession itself is not the goal. What matters to him is creating the better chances.

Arsenal have had a tougher week in the cups. They were knocked out of the League Cup by Fleetwood, who play in League Two, the fourth tier of English football, the week before this game.

The league table adds another layer. Liverpool are fourth, six points behind Arsenal at the top, according to Reuters. Iraola said it was too soon to talk about the title. Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool defender who now works as a pundit, believes Liverpool are Arsenal's biggest title challengers.

Iraola has also pointed to the stadium. He said Liverpool have "a big advantage over other teams because this atmosphere we can create is special."

The two sides met last season, and Liverpool won that game 1-0. Anfield on a Sunday afternoon is a familiar stage for both clubs, and it is one where a single goal can change the mood of a whole city. Arsenal need to win there for the first time in more than a decade. Liverpool want to show that their winning run is more than a short spell of good form.
