Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield in one of the biggest Premier League games of the season so far, with the defending champions aiming to end a long winless run at this venue.
Arsenal have not won a league match at Anfield since September 2012. They arrive in Merseyside after a Carabao Cup last-16 defeat to fourth-tier Fleetwood in midweek, and are eager to return to the top of the table after leaders Manchester City lost again yesterday.
Team News and Fitness Updates
Liverpool could welcome back Dominik Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz from injury. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta should be able to call on Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori and Christos Tzolis, while Noni Madueke's status remains uncertain ahead of a late fitness test.
The home side sit fifth in the standings and are on a run of five consecutive victories across all competitions, including a penalty shootout win over Chelsea in midweek.
Title Race Implications
A point for Arsenal at Anfield would be enough to move them above Manchester City at the top of the table, following City's second successive slip-up against Brighton yesterday.
Liverpool, managed by Andoni Iraola, trail the summit by six points. Iraola has played down talk of a title challenge, though expectations could rise if his team triumph again here.
Kick-off is at 4:30pm GMT at Anfield, with Standard Sport's Arsenal correspondent Matt Verri providing live updates from the ground.
