Two clubs, two cities, one shared ambition.

Two clubs forged in working communities, arriving in the Football League by different roads but in the same year.
Arsenal, then known as Royal Arsenal, had turned professional in 1891 and joined the Football League in 1893. Liverpool, founded in 1892 after Everton's departure from Anfield, entered the League the same year. Both clubs were products of working communities with fierce local pride, and their paths would soon cross in the top flight.
