Liverpool heads to the Emirates tonight, aiming to stop Arsenal’s strong run and secure a spot in the top four.
Arne Slot’s team is currently behind the leaders but remains unbeaten in their last nine matches. Despite their solid performance, Liverpool has struggled away from home and now faces one of their toughest games this season. A win would close the gap with the leaders and show their intentions for the rest of the season.
Liverpool Team News
Slot is dealing with several key players missing from the attack. Hugo Ekitike has a hamstring issue, joining Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak on the injury list. Midfielder Wataru Endo is also out long-term. Florian Wirtz, however, is fit to play despite a minor hamstring worry earlier this week.
Thus, Cody Gakpo will lead the scoring efforts, having performed well in London this season. He will be supported by Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones as they work to overcome one of the toughest home defenses in the league. Alisson Becker will be in goal, backed by a defense including Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, and Milos Kerkez as Liverpool aims for vital points.
