Latest Liverpool vs Arsenal team news
Liverpool could welcome back Alexis Mac Allister after injury, allowing manager Slot to rearrange the midfield alongside Ryan Gravenberch. In addition, only Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring) is absent. Szoboszlai played temporarily at right-back against Newcastle, but Conor Bradley is also an option this weekend. Mohamed Salah – who once scored 11 goals against Arsenal, only behind Harry Kane (14) and Wayne Rooney (12) – will continue to lead the attack.
In contrast, Arsenal are facing a wave of injuries. Bukayo Saka (hamstring) and Kai Havertz (knee) will be out for an extended period, while captain Martin Odegaard hasn't trained since the win against Leeds (shoulder injury). Leandro Trossard, Ben White, and Christian Norgaard are all doubtful, and Gabriel Jesus (anterior cruciate ligament) will be sidelined for several more months.
In that context, Eberechi Eze – a new signing who just debuted at Emirates – could replace Odegaard, and Ethan Nwaneri is also a backup option. Noni Madueke will take over the right wing from Saka, allowing Arteta to maintain flexibility despite facing a personnel crisis at the start of the season.

Latest football match prediction: Liverpool vs Arsenal
From fiery passion to explosive moments from teenage talent, the clash between Liverpool and Newcastle at St James' Park on Monday night lived up to expectations – and was even more dramatic. The Reds stunned the home side by leaving the pitch with all three points in the 100th minute of added time.
Anthony Gordon – a former Liverpool player – was sent off for a brutal foul on Virgil van Dijk, but Newcastle still played as if they had a full squad. After equalizing 2-2, the Magpies seemed to have secured the victory, but the talented 2008-born Rio Ngumoha shone with the decisive goal, following a clever pass from Dominik Szoboszlai from Mohamed Salah.
Nevertheless, manager Arne Slot still faces a difficult defensive problem, leaving Liverpool currently 3 points behind Arsenal and Tottenham in the league table. But on the attacking front, they have the opportunity to set a club record: just one more goal would give Liverpool a streak of 37 consecutive league games with a goal. Under Slot, they have scored in 39 out of 40 Premier League matches.
While Liverpool showcased their attacking prowess but revealed defensive weaknesses, Arsenal demonstrated remarkable balance. After a tactical battle at Old Trafford, Mikel Arteta's team thrashed Leeds at Emirates.
Despite struggling in the first half hour, Arsenal found the opening goal from a familiar corner kick, before Viktor Gyokeres scored a brace, Jurrien Timber put in an excellent performance, and Max Dowman made an impressive debut. The victory gives the Gunners the chance to win all three opening matches without conceding a goal for the first time in 101 years.
In the last 20 years, Arsenal have only won all three of their opening Premier League matches once (in the 2022-23 season). Under Arteta, they have also maintained a positive record against Liverpool with six consecutive unbeaten matches in the Premier League. However, the Gunners have not won at Anfield since 2012 – when Arteta was still a player and featured in a 2-0 victory with goals from Podolski and Cazorla.
