Premier League champions Arsenal endured one of the most embarrassing nights in their history when they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two side Fleetwood Town on Tuesday, but can they bounce back at Anfield on Sunday?
"Arsenal put a pretty strong team out but were humiliated by Fleetwood, and at Highbury too," said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton.
"Liverpool seem to be getting it together so this will be a big test for Mikel Arteta's side after the week they have had."
Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests.
For week eight, he takes on actor John Hannah, star of new action thriller Bad Day At The Office, who is an Arsenal fan.
Bad Day At The Office will be in UK and Irish cinemas from 30 October.

Hannah, also known for his roles in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Sliding Doors and The Mummy, has been an Arsenal fan since he moved to London from Scotland more than 40 years ago.
As a boy growing up in East Kilbride he had hopes of becoming a footballer long before realising his acting aspirations.
Many of his childhood friends, including Rangers legend Ally McCoist, would go on to forge professional careers.
"I'd like to compare myself to Bukayo Saka," Hannah explained when describing what kind of player he was. "I played on the right wing and I was quite small and fast and I scored a lot of of goals.
"My dream was to be a footballer, and it was all I ever thought about. I played or trained all the time - but, like many dreams, it didn't come true.
"As I got a bit bigger I kind of segued back into midfield but when I discovered women and beer then I kind of stopped playing.
"Once I went to drama school I got very focused on that and then with moving to London and working away, around probably 20 years passed without me kicking a ball.
"But then in 2013 I did a film called Shooting for Socrates, where I played Northern Ireland manager Billy Bingham at the 1986 World Cup.
"We were down in Spain doing some filming there and had a bit of a kickaround and I remember thinking 'yeah, I've still got it you know!'
"Not anymore though - since then I have snapped my ACL [anterior cruciate ligament] which has put paid to football and a lot of sport. It is really just cycling and running for me now."

Stamford Bridge, 12:30 GMT
Everyone will be watching this game because of Michael Carrick's situation at Manchester United, and wondering how much longer he will be in charge.
Carrick kept his job after the heavy defeats against Como and Bournemouth last week and my view is that, by keeping him on for now, they are possibly just prolonging the misery for him, really.
Going by how insipid United were against Bournemouth, it is hard to see them going to Chelsea and getting anything.
Chelsea were not much better in their defeat by Tottenham last weekend and since then they have been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Liverpool too.
Xabi Alonso is still without the injured Joao Pedro so I expect Danny Welbeck will lead their attack like he did against Liverpool, and Cole Palmer will be back after his suspension.
Chelsea have had a bad week but I can't see things changing for United, even if Bruno Fernandes is back in their team.
Sutton's prediction: 3-1
John's prediction: With Carrick under pressure, it just feels like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer all over again - he won a few games in a row then they gave him the job and now he doesn't win any. 3-1
AI's prediction: 2-1
Vitality Stadium, 15:00
Bournemouth are flying at the moment, with successive wins over Aston Villa, Manchester United and AC Milan.
Leeds are extremely well structured, however, even if they are not free-scoring this season.
I am sure Daniel Farke would like his team to score more goals, but they don't give away a lot either.
Bournemouth are on a great run but I wonder how much the past week has taken out of them, and that makes me think Leeds could nick a point.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
John's prediction: This will be a good game, both teams are performing quite well at the moment. 2-2
AI's prediction: 1-1
Gtech Community Stadium, 15:00
Nottingham Forest should have beaten Ipswich last time out but that draw was another example of a game where they haven't taken their chances.
I do think things will turn for Oliver Glasner's side eventually but they are in the bottom three and he is desperate for a win.
I thought Brentford would beat Hull last week but they ended up sharing the points. The Bees do draw a lot of games and that is probably the most sensible prediction here.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
John's prediction: Brentford at home will maybe give them an edge. 2-1
AI's prediction: 2-1
Coventry Building Society Arena, 15:00
This is big for both teams. It's the battle of the bottom two... and I think Sunderland will win it.
Coventry do not lack any effort and they have got plenty of pace on the counter-attack, but their problem is that they just don't have the quality of most other Premier League teams.
Sunderland got a good win over Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night and I am surprised they have been struggling so badly in the league.
The Black Cats are a well-coached team and while I think European football is affecting them in many ways, Brian Brobbey's return from injury is a big positive, and he should help them nick this.
Sutton's prediction: 0-1
John's prediction: I'm surprised by the run Sunderland are on, am still going to put them down for a win here. 0-2
AI's prediction: 1-1
MKM Stadium, 15:00
Both of these promoted teams have got 10 points so far, which shows what decent starts they have made.
I've not picked either of them to get a win yet in my predictions (see table at bottom of page) but that is going to change this week despite the obvious result to go for being a draw.
