Liverpool’s position at the top of the Premier League table is in serious jeopardy, judging by their next few fixtures. Arne Slot’s side have been impressive so far this season, winning nine games out of a possible 10, though they meet Arsenal in late October.

Home games against Chelsea, Brighton and Aston Villa come either side of that title clash with all three teams posing a serious threat to the Reds given how they have all started the season, especially offensively.

Arsenal will see their Premier League title credentials tested after the October international break with three huge games on the horizon. Before that nightmare run begins, the Gunners take on Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium which will be a far from simple clash to navigate.

Following that, Liverpool are welcomed to Emirates Stadium before Arsenal are on their travels in consecutive weekends to take on Newcastle and Chelsea all before the next international break. Nottingham Forest at the City Ground comes after that with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side also no

The reigning Premier League champions will fancy their chances to take maximum points from their next five games. In comparison to the games awaiting Liverpool and Arsenal, City have a very favourable run-in as they prepare to face two teams without a win.

Though they have struggled recently, a clash away at Brighton will be far from straightforward and Pep Guardiola’s bogey team Tottenham also head to Etihad Stadium in November.
