Welcome to our live coverage of Arne Slot's press conference to preview Liverpool's Premier League clash at leaders Arsenal on Thursday. The Reds boss will be with us at 9.45am.
And top of the agenda will be the fitness of top-scorer [Hugo Ekitike](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/hugo-ekitike), who missed Sunday's 2-2 draw at Fulham.
That result extended Liverpool's unbeaten run in all competitions to nine matches but left them a whopping 14 points adrift of the Gunners, so expect [Slot](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/arne-slot) to be quizzed on why his defending champions have fallen so bar behind the current pacesetters.
And given we're seven days into the transfer window, expect the Dutchman to be asked about any developments in the market, with reports suggesting that Manchester City are interested in signing Marc Guehi, who came desperately to signing for the Reds from Crystal Palace in the summer, before the month is out.
Paul Gorst and Ian Doyle are at the AXA Training Centre to bring you live updates from the press conference.
