Liverpool, despite not being in the Premier League title conversation last year, have started well this season, defeating West Ham United 5:1 in midweek to secure their place in the League Cup semis and finishing in their Europa League group. The Reds are currently one point behind league leaders Arsenal after seventeen games.

Arsenal, who won the title last season, are now five points ahead of champions Manchester City. Mikel Arteta is satisfied with their progress. The Gunners face a challenging task this weekend, but with their recent victory over City, they hope to leave with something.

Despite speculation that Gravenberch may have sustained a hamstring injury in a goalless draw with Manchester United, reports suggest he simply suffered muscle fatigue. Thiago Alcantara was on the bench, but the game is likely to be too soon for Andy Robertson, Stefan Bajcetic, Alexis Mac Allister, and Diogo Jota. Luis Díaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Mohamed Salah will start fresh against the Gunners.

Arsenal will be without key players like Mohamed Elneny, Jurrien Timber, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Fabio Vieira, Thomas Partey, and Jorginho due to injury. Head coach Mikel Arteta should avoid changing his starting XI as he did not sustain any injuries in last weekend’s win over Brighton.

Liverpool

Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker
Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, Konstantinos Tsimikas
