Arsenal will be hoping to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League table as they welcome a Liverpool side desperate to get back within touching distance of the European places.
The Gunners have won seven of their opening eight league games this season and come into today’s match buoyed by a victory in the North London derby against Tottenham last weekend. Mikel Arteta’s side were also in fine form in Thursday’s successful Europa League clash at home to Norwegian outfit Bodø/Glimt, though his team have had a couple days less rest than today’s opponent.
Liverpool’s last outing was a comfortable 2-0 Champions League win over Rangers on Tuesday, but Jürgen Klopp’s men have been way off the pace in the Premier League so far this season. The Reds are currently languishing in midtable after four draws in their opening seven games and need a win today to remain in the race for European qualification at this early stage of the season.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch all of the action live wherever you are in the world.
Arsenal vs. Liverpool: When and where?
Arsenal hosts Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in North London on Sunday, Oct. 9. Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. BST (11:30 a.m. ET, 8:30 a.m PT).
How to watch the Arsenal vs. Liverpool game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
