Weekend Preview: Arsenal’s Anfield test and 2023 in review

Adam Leventhal returns to preview the last set of games before Christmas.

First up, a Christmas cracker at the top of the table, with Arsenal visiting Anfield. The Gunners lead the league but are without a win away to Liverpool in over a decade.

Elsewhere West Ham host Man United, where they have a chance to overtake the Red Devils in the table, while guest Jon Mackenzie shares his controversial take on David Moyes. 

Other storylines ahead of this weekend include Everton going for 5 wins in a row versus Spurs and a debut at Nottingham Forest for Nuno Espirito Santo.

And finally, for our last show of 2023, we look back on our best and worst moments of the year, and make some Christmas wishes for 2024.
