The Gunners and the Reds dropped crucial points and a win for Chelsea and Man City on Sunday could see the race for the Premier League title have more candidates.
Arsenal were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Everton in the Premier League at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
The hosts had 75% possession and a total of 13 shots, but could not find the breakthrough against an Everton side that defended resolutely and had only one shot in the entire game.

Mikel Arteta's worrying concern after Chelsea frustrate Arsenal to draw
Mikel Arteta is a worried man after two key players limped off during their 1-1 draw with Chelsea last Sunday.
That came in the sixth minute and was arguably the best chance of the contest when Abdoulaye Doucoure was played through, but the Toffees midfielder took too long and his strike from an angle was blocked by Gabriel.
The Gunners hogged the ball thereafter but found it difficult to create many clear-cut openings, with skipper Martin Odegaard dragging a shot wide and seeing another deflected effort clawed away by Jordan Pickford. The England number one made a stunning reflex save to deny Bukayo Saka at the start of the second half and though Arsenal huffed and puffed, a winning goal eluded them.

Enzo Maresca’s two-word response to Cole Palmer’s Panenka against Tottenham
The Chelsea head coach gave the perfect answer when asked about his star player’s well-executed penalty.
Elsewhere, the returning Diogo Jota scored a late equaliser as Premier League leaders Liverpool twice fought back with 10 men to deny Fulham following Andy Robertson's red card at Anfield.
Jota, sidelined with injury since October, slotted in an 86th-minute leveller after Rodrigo Muniz looked to have ended the Reds' second-half resistance. Cody Gakpo's header from Mohamed Salah's sublime cross shortly after half-time had cancelled out Andreas Pereira's 11th-minute opener.
Six minutes after Pereira volleyed Fulham ahead, Liverpool's task became even tougher when Robertson was dismissed for denying Harry Wilson a goalscoring opportunity.
While Fulham centre-back Issa Diop had earlier escaped with a booking for a high challenge on the offside Robertson, there was no such fortune for the Liverpool left-back and a lengthy video assistant referee (VAR) review confirmed Wilson was onside before pouncing on his mistake.
