Confirmed Lineups: Arsenal vs Liverpool on January 8

The lineups for Arsenal vs Liverpool at the Emirates have been confirmed. Arsenal ended 2025 with a strong finish and started 2026 with a tough 3-2 victory at Bournemouth. Despite falling behind due to a defensive mistake, Mikel Arteta’s squad rallied to secure three important points. Earlier this season, Liverpool won their first match against Arsenal.

While Liverpool’s performance has improved, an injury to Alexander Isak and inconsistent play compared to last season has left them seeking better results. Will Arne Slot’s team manage to earn three points, or will Arteta’s side continue their push for the Premier League title?
