Liverpool Team News
At the pre-match press conference, Andoni Iraola was asked about the availability of Víctor Munoz and Dominik Szoboszlai: “I think they have a chance. They have a chance. But I don’t know for sure if they will be involved or not. We still have two days, so I think we have a chance, yes,” said Iraola
The Liverpool boss has won three of his last four fixtures against Arsenal, while he was the manager of Bournemouth, and was asked about the importance of this:
“It’s true that we had good results with Bournemouth against them, but this doesn’t mean a lot, honestly. It’s a totally different team, different group of players, different moments so I think we cannot use exactly the same things we used with Bournemouth against Arsenal. I think that we have to use different tools, use our players as good as we can and trust them. At the end it’s going to be a matter of winning the duels, running more than them, winning the aerial duels, winning the set-play mini-games, these things that you have to control against us and all this.”

Arsenal Team News
Mikel Arteta spoke to the media ahead of his team’s visit to Merseyside, where he was asked about the availability of Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori, and Christos Tzolis: “They all trained today, and they will train tomorrow, and if everything is ok, they will be available,” said the Gunners boss.
He was also asked about whether Bukayo Saka will be back before the international break: “He needed another scan to see how the amount of fluid that was there is resolving, whether the tendon is touched and how badly it is touched. Afterwards we’ll know more about it,” said the Arsenal boss.
Arteta was also asked about the fitness of Noni Madueke and the Gunners boss said: “We don’t know yet. We’ll have a training session tomorrow, see if he can complete that full session tomorrow and as I said, I will know whether he’s available or not.”
When asked if Madueke was ruled out: “Noni? No,” answered the Gunners boss.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup
Alisson, Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Barcola, Wirtz, Gakpo, Isak.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup
Raya, Timber, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Guimaraes, Madueke, Odegaard, Eze, Gyokeres.
The Last Word: Prediction for Liverpool vs Arsenal
Liverpool vs Arsenal has more than the potential to be the game of the weekend. Both teams have shown plenty of ability this season and have key players moving into good form, such as Bradley Barcola and Alexander Isak at Liverpool. We are anticipating the game to have plenty of tension, and there’s no doubt Iraola’s team have improved in recent weeks.
Despite their shock exit in the Carabao Cup, we are backing Arsenal to improve, but we are backing both teams to share the spoils.
Prediction: Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal
