Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has warned they could repeat their celebrations should they beat Liverpool. The Gunners are looking to keep pace with the Premier League pace setters after Manchester City's win took them six points clear of the North London club.

Erling Haaland's goal also took the champions ahead of Liverpool, seeing the Reds lose top spot ahead of Sunday's showdown with Mikel Arteta's side. With just one defeat in their opening eight Premier League matches, Arne Slot faces a new threat in their title rivals.

Jurgen Klopp suffered defeat in his final meeting with Arsenal, as they ran out 3-1 winners in this fixture last season. Celebrations at full-time saw captain Martin Odegaard take the camera off the chief photographer and take a snap in front of a jubilant Emirates Stadium.

The incident irked Sky Sports pundits, including former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher. And the Spanish goalkeeper has warned that a win for Arsenal on Sunday could spark similar scenes.

"Every win in the Premier League is important and I think we should celebrate every win the same," he said.

"Of course, when we played them in the second half of last season, it was a massive three points for us and obviously that emotion for everybody to win against Liverpool is important and is also incredible. If we win on Sunday, it's going to be the same emotions and same celebrations.

"They're a top team. They've got a new manager and I think they've increased the level. They are very dangerous, they are going to come here for three points and we have to be ready for that."
