Liverpool host Arsenal in the Premier League as the champions aim to end their long winless run at Anfield.
The Gunners have not won at Liverpool since 2012, when Mikel Arteta himself as part of Arsenal’s midfield. But the champions arrive on Merseyside following Tuesday night’s shock Carabao Cup exit at Fleetwood and with absences in attack, with Bukayo Saka out, Noni Madueke a doubt and Max Dowman suspended.
The mood at Liverpool has turned since a four-game winless run in all competitions was followed by knocking Chelsea out of the Carabao Cup on penalties in midweek. Victory for Andoni Iraola over his fellow Basque coach Arteta would move the Reds just three points behind the champions in the table.
Alexander Isak is enjoying his best run since arriving at Liverpool, with five Premier League goals in his last five appearances, but faces an Arsenal defence led by the new partnership of Gabriel Magalhaes and Ezri Konsa that has not conceded a goal in their last three matches.
Follow all of the latest from Anfield with our live blog below:
Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal
39’ – Everyone thinks Wirtz is going to cross except the German. And his shot has Raya beaten only for it to crash back off the bar.
Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal
37’ – Arsenal are really losing the midfield battle at the moment and struggling to get out. Mac Allister has won a corner after driving in and slicing a cross that the referee thinks deflected off Gabriel but replays, and the Arsenal defender, suggest otherwise.
It is cleared, so no real cause for controversy.
A moment later Tiber is penalised for soft enough foul on Isak just outside the box on the left.
Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal
33’ – Mac Allister has options but chooses the wrong one by shooting instead of playing a team-mate in.
The TV coverage is showing a replay from earlier where Isak was clearly having his shirt pulled by Timber in the box but the Liverpool forward does not appeal for a penalty and it went ignored. If he should, could it have been given?
Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal
This is a really high-octane affair, entertaining and frantic. It’s a real contrast with the same game last season – though the scoreline is the opposite as Liverpool won that 1-0.
Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal
29’ – Now Liverpool want a penalty as Gakpo goes down under pressure from Tzolis while trying to reach a Mac Allister diagonal. There is contact but, really, not that much. VAR is checking and Iraola is insistent … but after about a minute the decision is no penalty. Someone on Liverpool’s bench – one of the backroom staff, it appears – is booked for his protests.
Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal
27’ – It’s end to end stuff. Liverpool pour forward, Rice does well to cut out another cross, colliding with Raya. The hosts put the pressure on again, winning a corner which Isak is a whisker from converting having evaded Konsa. A second corner, from Gakpo, swings towards the goal and Gabriel heads it away for another delivery. that is only half-cleared and from there Isak sends in a cross that Raya gathers, providing some brief respite.
Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal
25’ – Timber has stopped it from becoming 2-0 by accidentally getting in the way of Madueke’s cross to Havertz, who was primed to tap it in. Timber was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, running towards the near post, but it’s a let off for Liverpool.
Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal
24’ – That said Arsenal remain full of endeavour and Guimaraes has just flashed a low cross into the box. It zips out for a goal kick but was beggging to be finished off. Madueke may have his detractors but all of Arsenal’s most promising work has come down his right flank.
Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal
22’ – Liverpool are dialling up the pressure, winning a corner via Guimaraes, although the set piece is poor and easily cleared.
