This season, the Gunners are in a prime position to end a 19-year wait for a league trophy.
Former English footballer Paul Merson has predicted that Arsenal will win the Premier League race if they beat Liverpool on Sunday.
The Gunners will hope to emerge winners and maintain an eight-point gap against Manchester United.
Although Merson believes the match against struggling Liverpool will be tough, a win for Mikel Arteta’s side will all but wrap up the race.
"If Arsenal win this game, I think they win the Premier League," Merson argued in his prediction piece on Sportskeeda.
"They still have a game against an excellent Newcastle side, but Arsenal won't have to beat them if they can get the better of Liverpool.
"If they win this game, they would have to have a major meltdown to lose the title race."

FOOTBALL ‘He is not a top player’ – Dwight Yorke blasts Arsenal transfer target
The qualities and strength of the Brazilian has been questioned by the retired footballer.
The fact that Jurgen Klopp decided to rest his key players for their match against Chelsea on Tuesday is something that should worry the Arsenal fans, believes Merson.
"This game is a worry for Arsenal. Liverpool did not play [Mohamed] Salah, [Virgil] Van Dijk, [Andy] Robertson, or [Trent] Alexander-Arnold against Chelsea," he added.
"Klopp could be saving these players for Arsenal. I'd be shocked if they don't play this game. It seems like the Arsenal game at home is more important to Klopp, and that would worry me as an Arsenal fan.
The fact that Liverpool are blowing hot and cold makes Merson predict a 2-1 win for Arsenal at Anfield.
"Klopp wants his Liverpool side to play a certain way, and his team doesn't have the legs to pull it off at the moment," he concluded.
