Arsenal vs Liverpool — Team News And Predicted Line-up
The biggest test of Arne Slot’s reign comes on today afternoon when Liverpool travel to Arsenal for a Premier League clash.
Both teams will be looking to topple Manchester City at the end of the Premier League season and the outcome of this weekend’s clash will have huge implications for the early stages of the title race.
Liverpool are four points ahead of Arsenal after eight games and could extend their lead to seven with a win at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners are looking to bounce back from last week’s defeat to Bournemouth but will have to do without a number of key players. William Saliba is suspended, Martin Odegaard is suspended and fitness tests for Bukayo Saka and Riccardo Calafiori will be postponed.
Liverpool’s midweek win over RB Leipzig in the Champions League means they have now won 10 of their 11 games in the slot era. Seven of those have come in the Premier League, with last weekend’s 2-1 win over Chelsea the biggest win of the new era so far.
