According to a report by the BBC Sport on Sunday, November 1, 2026, Arsenal have moved to the top of the Premier League table following their 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

The Gunners secured all three points through a second-half performance that helped them claim an important victory against one of their major rivals in the title race.

Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the encounter after Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson made a costly mistake. Martin Odegaard intercepted the ball before Declan Rice provided the pass that allowed Havertz to finish from close range.

The result ended Liverpool's five-match winning run and strengthened Arsenal's position in the league standings.

Before the match, Arsenal were second with 21 points from eight matches, behind Manchester City on goal difference. However, their victory at Anfield has taken them to 24 points from nine games.

Manchester City are now second with 21 points after suffering a 1-0 home defeat against Brighton on Saturday. Brighton occupy third position with 19 points, while Chelsea are fourth with 16 points.

Liverpool remain fifth with 15 points despite their defeat, having played eight matches.

The result also gives Arsenal an important advantage in the early stages of the title race. Their ability to secure victories against difficult opponents could prove valuable as the season progresses.

Meanwhile, Liverpool will need to respond in their next league matches to avoid losing further ground on the teams above them.

With several matches still to come, the Premier League table could change in the coming weeks. However, Arsenal will be pleased with their position after collecting three important points away from home.

The Gunners will now look to maintain their form as they continue their challenge for the Premier League title.
