Liverpool beat Wolves 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday to remain seven points clear at top of the Premier League .

The Reds failed to attempt a shot in the second half of their second half against Wolves .

Arsenal are currently unbeaten in 15 league matches (W10 D5) Arsenal have one fewer Premier League game than Liverpool in the rest of this month , but play one more than the Reds .

Liverpool will have been relieved to get the three points against Wolves because they have two tough away games coming up - travelling to Aston Villa and then Manchester City . They also play rivals Arsenal towards the end of the season but have the advantage of hosting that encounter. Arsenal, meanwhile, face six sides in the top half of the table in their final 13 games. As the historical table below shows, only once in Premier League history has a side held a lead of this size after 25 games and not gone on to win the title..
