History of the Liverpool vs Arsenal rivalry
Liverpool vs Arsenal pits London against Liverpool in a clash of English regions and top clubs. The game is more of a marquee fixture than a traditional derby, as neither side considers the other as one of its main rivals. Liverpool has more fierce derbies with local neighbors Everton, as well as Manchester United. Arsenal’s biggest rivalries are with fellow north Londoners Tottenham, and also Chelsea and West Ham United.
The two clubs have met in three FA Cup finals (Arsenal winning two to Liverpool’s one in those games). They played a memorable clash at Anfield in 1989. A stoppage time goal secured the league title for Arsenal, snatching it away from Liverpool via the total goals scored tiebreaker.
