Liverpool claimed the Premier League title last season ahead of the Merseyside Club’s second-place gunner last season.
Both teams have started their season well this time with two wins in the opening two games, but who will be the first hit in Sunday’s title race?
Prior to this crunch match, TNT Sports asked supporters to come up with a total XI for both teams. The results are very interesting.
They offered the fans the option of a total XI 4-2-3-1 formation, but who is the goal for this team? Who will guide the line between two new boys, Hugo Ekitike or Viktor Gyoker?
Please see the results below.
It may not be surprising that Liverpool captain Vilgilvandick has accumulated the most votes in 83% of centre-back votes.
Fans also voted that Arsenal defender William Saliba should be on the line with Liverpool skipper after winning 76% of the vote.
The Frenchman has been in great shape so far, and has played a major role in not acknowledging one goal in the league this season at Arsenal.

For many, it may be surprising that Saliba is just one of the two Arsenal players selected by this total XI supporter.
Despite not starting league games this semester, fans voted for Andy Robertson to start from left back, ahead of things like Milos Kerquez and Riccardo Calfioli with 31% of the vote.
Looking at midfield 3, Lian Gray Gun Birch was the most popular pick with 59% of the vote, with Liverpool’s new boy Florian Wiltz being chosen as the offensive option.
Declan Rice has selected FIFA World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister as the second Arsenal player involved in this total XI.
This means that the forefront of this special starting lineup includes Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike.
Sarah stood only for Arsenal star Buka Yosaka and the right role.
Gakpo won 62% of the votes that beat the competition between club teammate Federico Chiesa and Arsenal duo Noni Maduke and Gabriel Martinelli.
It was Ekitike who took Gyoker with a 56% vote, and the Frenchman enjoyed a great start at Anfield after scoring in each of his first three competitive matches with the club.
