Team News

Arsenal
Liverpool
  • Arsenal look set to be without injured trio Jurrien Timber, Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira, while Takehiro Tomiyasu remains at the Asian Cup with Japan.
  • Emile Smith Rowe could keep his place in the starting XI, having started against Nottingham Forest in midweek.
  • Jurgen Klopp will remain without Mohamed Salah, despite Egypt's elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations, as he recovers from a thigh injury.
  • Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to return to the side with Conor Bradley absent due to personal reasons.
  • Darwin Nunez faces a late fitness test owing to a foot injury sustained in midweek.

Prediction

  • After three successive defeats across the New Year period, Arsenal have won back-to-back Premier League matches, against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.
  • The Gunners were, however, beaten 2-0 by Liverpool at the Emirates less than a month ago, in the FA Cup.
  • Liverpool continue their strong season on all fronts, and have now scored four or more goals in three of their last four matches, and in the absence of Mohamed Salah, no less.
  • The Reds will head to north London at least five points clear at the top of the Premier League, having played one match more than Manchester City, with the chance to extend their lead to eight points.
  • This one could go either way, but Liverpool look like the favourites.
