Liverpool team news

There are a handful of serious injuries manager Jurgen Klopp is having to deal with at the moment. The German coach will be without Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip, Andy Robertson, Alexis Mac Allister, Diogo Jota and Ben Doak for this top-of-the-table clash.

The good news is Ryan Gravenberch's muscle issue picked up against Manchester United is not as severe as first expected and he should be available for selection. Curtis Jones is set to take that midfield spot, however.

Arsenal also have a number of important players sidelined at the moment. The long-term absence of summer signing Jurrien Timber has annoyed fans, while Fabio Vieira, Thomas Partey and Takehiro Tomiyasu are all out.

On top of that, Mohamed Elneny and Jorginho are out which means Mikel Arteta has minimal midfield options on the bench. He will be desperate to avoid injuries to expected starters Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice and Kai Havertz.

Liverpool vs Arsenal score prediction

There is every reason to believe this will be an excellent game at Anfield on Saturday, even if last weekend's clash with Man Utd ended up being a rather tepid affair. There will be a tremendous sense of occasion, as both sets of fans know their team can lay down a marker in the Premier League title race with a win.

A combined 71 league goals have been scored by these sides so far this season and they also share identical defensive records.

There is plenty of attacking talent and both coaches will be playing to win the game. Expect goals and a scoreline that might make Aston Villa fans very happy.

Prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal
