Arsenal team news

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.
Liverpool team news
There are some much tougher decisions for Klopp to make when it comes to his team selection. He chose to start Conor Bradley over Trent Alexander-Arnold against Chelsea and the youngster scored, but he is likely to be dropped to the bench for this massive game.
Through injury and international duty, Liverpool are still without Wataru Endo, Mohamed Salah, Kostas Tsimikas, Stefan Bajcetic, Ben Doak, Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara. There is also concern over the fitness of Alexis Mac Allister after the Chelsea game, but Klopp may have little choice but to start him.
There may be a return to the starting lineup for Andy Robertson after his long injury lay-off, which would mean Joe Gomez dropping to the bench.

Arsenal vs Liverpool score prediction
This game really has the potential to be a classic. Both teams have a host of attacking talent and Arsenal really need to attack and ensure they get all three points, with a draw not of much use at this stage in the season.
However, Liverpool are regular goalscorers against all types of opponents and have shown already this season they can beat Arsenal on their home pitch. With their first-choice defence also back in action, the Reds will be difficult to beat on Snuday.
With plenty of stake, there might not be anything to separate the two title challengers come full-time at the Emirates.
