Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, looking to extend a five-match winning run across all competitions.
Andoni Iraola’s side sit fourth in the Premier League, a point behind third-placed Brighton and six adrift of Arsenal and Manchester City at the top, after a 2-0 win over Brighton last weekend that came despite just 36% possession. Liverpool also progressed past Chelsea in the EFL Cup on penalties in midweek, continuing a run in which Iraola has lost just twice in 27 Premier League matches across the calendar year. Sunday’s visitors arrive still reeling from a shock EFL Cup exit at the hands of League Two Fleetwood Town in midweek, a result that followed a contentious red card for Max Dowman.
Liverpool team news
Dominik Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz are both doubts, with Iraola confirming in his pre-match press conference that each has “a chance” of featuring against the champions. Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley, Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni all remain unavailable through injury. No further fitness concerns have been reported elsewhere in Iraola’s squad.
Florian Wirtz made a rapid recovery from an ankle knock to feature against Chelsea and is expected to start, with Alexander Isak, who has scored in each of his last six Premier League games, and Bradley Barcola, who has three goals and two assists in his last four appearances, both also in line to return after being rotated in midweek. Arsenal have won just once in their last eight Premier League meetings with Liverpool and have not won away at Anfield since 2012, a result that would extend their winless run there to 14 consecutive league visits.
Liverpool predicted lineup
Liverpool possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Barcola, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak
