Since the 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United at Anfield at the start of March, Liverpool have gone on a four-game winless streak across all competitions, that includes three consecutive defeats against Bournemouth, Real Madrid and Manchester City. On Tuesday, the Reds were fortunate not to suffer a fourth consecutive defeat as Reece James and Kai Havertz both were left to rue disallowed goals in the first game of Chelsea’s post-Graham Potter era. During the displeasing winless streak, Jurgen Klopp’s side have managed to score only two times, and all of those goals have come away from home. On a positive note, Liverpool have the fifth-best home-record in the league this term, having collected 30 points from a possible 39 at Anfield.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have the best away-record in the top flight this season, having lost only once and pocketed 34 points from 15 matches on the road. Last weekend, Mikel Arteta’s side secured their 23rd league-win of the season against Leeds, thanks to Gabriel Jesus’ brace and one goal each from Ben white and Granit Xhaka. The result extended their winning run to seven games in the Premier League, scoring an impressive 23 goals and conceding only six in that period. Meanwhile, the Gunners secured a thrilling 3-2 win against Liverpool in the reverse fixture in October last year, thanks to Gabriel Martinelli’s opener inside the first minute and Bukayo Saka’s brace.
Liverpool probable starting lineup: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Elliott, Salah, Gakpo, Nunez
Arsenal probable starting lineup: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Xhaka, Partey, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus
