Liverpool will take on Arsenal, with both sides looking to pick up their first win of the season. Who will come up on top? Find out as we cover the action LIVE!
Liverpool may still be winless in the Premier League, having lost their first game and drew their next, but Reds defender Jose Enrique is confident that despite their nondescript start to the campaign, they will be able to beat Arsenal, who are yet to score a goal, when the Gunners take to the pitch at Anfield.
"I think we play better against these types of teams, we'll play at Anfield, which is good for us, and if we play as we did against Manchester City we can beat them [Arsenal]," Enrique said.
"Arsenal are an amazing team.
"They have sold a few players like Robin van Persie this year, and the year before they sold Samir Nasri, but they bring in new players and still finish in the top four."
Enrique hailed the quality of his Spanish compatriot Santi Cazorla, who is one of the new signings Wenger has brought in to bolster his squad.
"In Santi Cazorla, they have a great player and one of the best midfielders in the world," Enrique added.
"They have a great team. It's a pleasure to play against teams like this, but I think we can compete against these types of teams."

Meanwhile, Southampton will play host to Manchester United, who will not have talismanic striker Wayne Rooney involved, after the England international was ruled out for an estimated two months following a thigh injury.
However, Red Devils striker Danny Welbeck is confident that he will be able to step up to the plate and push for a starting berth in a side boasting the likes of forwards Robin Van Persie and Shinji Kagawa.
"It takes a while to get your fitness up," Welbeck said. "I have had a couple of games. I am looking forward to pushing on now and getting 90 minutes under my belt."
Welbeck also paid tribute to the Saints and claims he has been impressed with their displays so far.
"I have watched both their games so far," he added.
"They have played some really good football and have a few players to watch out for. Adam Lallana in particular is excellent.
"But the most important thing is to concentrate on our own team and make sure we play the right way."
