(The Guardian) Preamble-- A couple of in-form teams, right here. Arsenal have won their last five Premier League matches, a run that has catapulted them into fourth spot. Liverpool meanwhile have tasted victory in 12 of their last 14 games in all competitions, and the other two led to them winning the first domestic silverware of the season on penalties and qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Both are in a good place. Liverpool are arguably the more desperate for the three points this evening. They’re looking to close the gap on leaders Manchester City to a single point, taking advantage of the champions’ slip-up at Crystal Palace a couple of nights ago. City don’t drop points often; these opportunities don’t come around every week. Arsenal by contrast have a little more margin for error, a point ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United with three games in hand, though they’d love to plump up the cushion between themselves and United, West Ham, Wolves and a certain Tottenham Hotspur. This is set up rather nicely, in other words. Liverpool have the best of the recent head-to-head by far, with Arsenal only winning one of the last 18 matches in all competitions, the latest a 0-2 reverse at home in the League Cup semi-final. They also lost 4-0 at Anfield in November. But the Gunners will take succour from the goalless draw they secured with ten men in the first leg of that aforementioned semi, the Community Shield they won on penalties back in August 2020, and a come-from-behind 2-1 win in the league a month earlier. Kick off at the Emirates is at the slightly strange and travel unfriendly 8.15pm. It’s on!

(The Guardian) Team News-- Arsenal: Ramsdale, Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Lacazette. Subs: Leno, Smith Rowe, Holding, Pepe, Tavares, Sambi Lokonga, Elneny, Nketiah, Swanson. -- Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago, Diaz, Jota, Mane. Subs: Konate, Keita, Firmino, Salah, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Minamino, Kelleher. -- Referee: Andre Marriner (West Midlands).
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta decides that if it ain’t broken, it doesn’t need fixing. He names the same starting XI selected for the 2-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday. Liverpool make two changes as they look to make it nine Premier League wins in succession. Mohamed Salah only makes the bench after hurting his foot in the 2-0 win at Brighton on Saturday; Diogo Jota fills in. Naby Keita also drops to the bench, Thiago taking his place.

(The Guardian) Jurgen Klopp talks to Sky. -- On Mo Salah’s foot injury: “He made it. It was just yesterday we only had one session to train in, to test if everything is fine. It was fine, but he doesn’t start. We have him in the back hand, and he can come on. Really good.” On the change in midfield: “Thiago had a stiff neck last week and couldn’t play. Naby is in a really good moment to be honest. But it’s the same reason, if you have the opportunity to make changes, then you have to do it. You have to use the boys when they are ready, and I thought this midfield would be the right one for the things Arsenal will ask.” On the opponents: “I expect Arsenal to really go for it. If you asked them before the season, what do you want, to qualify for the Champions League with this young team? That would be amazing. So they have no pressure at all and will just try to cause us as many problems as possible.”

(The Guardian) The teams are out! Arsenal wear their famous red shirts with white sleeves, forcing Liverpool into a third-choice yellow kit that may or may not be historically resonant of the McDonald’s that used to be in the Kop. “Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain might not have a got all the minutes on the pitch he’d have wanted by the move, but I imagine he’ll be reasonably satisfied with a decision to leave Arsenal for Liverpool,” argues Charles Antaki. “A European champion’s medal (though he didn’t make it off the bench) and a Premier League winner’s medal will help. But he’s one of the leavers who Arsenal fans won’t begrudge success, and if he comes on and if Arsenal are ahead, he’ll probably get a warmish reception. That’s two ifs, one even less sure than the other.” We’ll be off in a minute.
Liverpool get the ball rolling ... but only after everyone takes the knee. Warm applause greets the gesture of solidarity. There’s no room for racism.

(The Guardian) 1 min: Liverpool are out of the blocks quicksmart. Alexander-Arnold whips from the right. Ramsdale comes out and flaps. Cedric is forced to knock out for a corner.
2 min: A corner on the left leads to another on the right. Alexander-Arnold takes. Van Dijk sends a header towards the bottom right. Ramsdale does well to turn the ball around the post for another corner, and keeps Arsenal’s record of not conceding from a corner this season in tact.

Decent start from Liverpool (The Guardian) 3 min: Arsenal clear this one easily enough, and the hosts have managed to survive that early pressure from Liverpool. “You could count on one hand how many players a team could have that it wouldn’t matter Salah wasn’t starting for them, so not convinced Mr Arteta,” writes Zach Neeley. “Not that I should worry. As an Arsenal fan, going in to a big game and no sight of David Luiz on the team sheet, no photo of his lustrous coiffure a top the page, I’ve already won.”

(The Guardian) 4 min: Odegaard slips a pass down the right but not with enough energy to release Saka. Robertson comes across to slide, intercept and purchase a cheap free kick that puts an end to Arsenal’s first attack.

(The Guardian) 5 min: Mane is bowled over to the right of the centre circle and tries to release Jota by springing up and taking a quick free kick. Good idea, but the ball was rolling when he took it, and the whistle goes. Mane smiles ruefully, knowing that was a great chance to send his team-mate free on goal.

(The Guardian) 7 min: Matip hoicks long down the right. Ramsdale races out of his box to trap and clear under pressure from a couple of bright yellow shirts. A nice, open feel to this game.
9 min: Partey creams a pass down the right for Saka, who reaches the edge of the Liverpool box before looping long for Martinelli, who heads back across goal in the hope of finding Lacazette. Matip heads half clear, then Alisson gathers. Both teams will be happy with the way they’ve started. Arsenal look especially lively in these opening exchanges.
