Liverpool vs Arsenal Preview: Team News, Form and Stats

Liverpool form and league position

Liverpool are fourth on 15 points with a goal difference of plus 3. Their last five league and European results read WWWW in the data we have, although they lost 0-3 to Manchester City in the Premier League earlier in the run and drew 1-1 with Chelsea in the League Cup most recently.

At home they have won one, drawn two and lost one in the league, scoring 1.0 goals per game and conceding 1.3. Away from Anfield the numbers are stronger, which makes their home record a point of interest rather than a given.

Arsenal form and away record

Arsenal are second on 21 points with a goal difference of plus 8, and the champions have won three and lost one of their four away league games this season. Over the last 12 months in the competitions we track, they have a record of W20-D10-L4 on the road, scoring 1.79 and conceding 0.94 per game.

They have kept five clean sheets in eight league games and failed to score only once. One historical note is that Arsenal have not won a league game at Anfield since 2012.

Liverpool and Arsenal team news

Liverpool are without Jeremie Frimpong, with Araujo expected at right-back. Dominik Szoboszlai has a chance but awaits a final call, Florian Wirtz's ankle is being assessed after he went off against Brighton, and Victor Munoz is a game-time decision.

Arsenal will be missing Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and the suspended Max Dowman. Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori are back in training and expected to be available if Monday's session goes well, while Noni Madueke's fitness is unresolved and Christos Tzolis is in contention. Projected line-ups are 4-2-3-1 for both, but none are confirmed.
