Liverpool vs Arsenal: Weather forecast, ticket details and travel information
Liverpool are preparing for an early Premier League title showdown against Arsenal on Sunday.
Liverpool secured a dramatic 3-2 win against Newcastle United last time out, thanks to a 100th-minute strike from Rio Ngumoha at St James’ Park.
This saw the 16-year-old become the Reds’ youngest ever scorer, adding to earlier strikes netted by Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike against Newcastle.
Now Arne Slot’s attentions will turn to what is bound to be a tough clash against Mikel Arteta’s side at Anfield on 31 August.
With all eyes on a trip to the Gunners’ trip to Merseyside, Liverpool News has highlighted everything you need to know before the clash.
Liverpool supporters to expect showers for Arsenal game
There has been largely consistent weather to begin the campaign, as warm conditions were a feature of Liverpool’s win against Newcastle United.
This will once again be the case, this time in L4, with temperatures set to reach as high as 17 degrees around the time of kick off at 04:30 pm.
| Time | 07:00am | 10:00am | 01:00pm | 04:00pm | 07:00pm |
| Chance of precipitation (%) | 40 | 60 | 70 | 60 | 50 |
| Temperature (°C) | 13 | 15 | 17 | 17 | 16 |
The Met Office (27 August) has predicted light showers around Anfield, with the chance of precipitation estimated to be around 60 per cent for the clash against the Gunners.
These periods of light rainfall will come in between sunny intervals, making for almost ideal conditions for a huge game at the top end of the Premier League.
