Arsenal vs Liverpool: Match Preview:

Arsenal:

The Gunners have won five out of five heading into this contest. Mikel Arteta has overseen a remarkable turnaround since the start of the season. Arsenal are already a point ahead of Manchester United, having played three games less. One of the youngest squads in the league is really shining as of late. Martin Odegaard was the linchpin in the win over Leicester City.

The English duo of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe are having breakout campaigns themselves. Alexandre Lacazette is leading the attack brilliantly through his overall game. In short, there are a lot of positives every week for Arteta to take home. However, the test against Liverpool at home will be one of the more sterner ones from now till season’s end.

Liverpool:

Jurgen Klopp’s have been on a roll themselves, having lost only once across all competitions this year. They have won eight consecutive games in the Premier League, stretching all the way back till January. Therefore, it is no surprise that they sit just three points behind Manchester City currently. Mo Salah has picked up right where he left off before going to AFCON along with Sadio Mane.

The frontline has been boosted with the addition of Luis Diaz who has adapted supremely well. Joel Matip is in the form of his life at the back while Trent Alexander-Arnold remains a creative force. Liverpool have had results in their favour traditionally in this fixture. However, they know that it cannot be taken for granted especially with Arsenal being in such strong form themselves.

Team News:

Arsenal:

Emile Smith Rowe recovered from illness in time to enjoy a 15-minute cameo in the win over Leicester, but Takehiro Tomiyasu's calf injury will likely keep him sidelined once more.

Arteta's inspired side did not pick up any fresh concerns on Sunday, and the Gunners boss will certainly be tempted to stick with an unchanged XI as Cedric Soares continues to deputise for Tomiyasu.

Smith Rowe is in contention to displace Gabriel Martinelli on the left-hand side, but Arteta may want to be cautious over the England international's fitness as he resumes his 'super-sub' role.

Liverpool:

Liverpool were handed a scare with Mohamed Salah after he left the Amex turf with a foot problem, but the attacker's issue is not too serious and he could yet make himself available for the midweek game.

Kostas Tsimikas and James Milner are both ill, but Klopp's side are otherwise in good shape as Ibrahima Konate returns from a knock. Diogo Jota could deputise for Salah if the Egyptian is not risked from the off.

Thiago Alcantara was also named among the substitutes for the Brighton win - most likely with the Emirates trip in mind - and the Spaniard will likely displace Naby Keita in the first XI here.
