Liverpool<\/a> and Arsenal<\/a> meet in the Premier League<\/a> at Anfield on Sunday at 4:30pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool have managed to stay within touching distance of the Premier League title-chasing pack, despite some mixed form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reds have not yet fully hit their stride under Andoni Iraola<\/a>. That didn’t stop them from breaking into the top four with a win over high-flying Brighton & Hove Albion last Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That result was followed up with a penalty shoot-out victory over Chelsea<\/a> in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night, so confidence may be a little higher ahead of this visit from the reigning champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal suffered a devastating loss to Fleetwood Town<\/a> in their own EFL Cup match in midweek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gunners were held 1-1 by the Cod Army in normal time before succumbing to the League Two<\/a> outfit on penalties. Mikel Arteta<\/a> will be happy to get back to league action no doubt, where the Gunners have been much stronger this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A comfortable win over Everton<\/a> last Saturday leaves the North Londoners level on points with league leaders Manchester City<\/a> ahead of Enzo Maresca<\/a>‘s side’s clash with Brighton on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Liverpool vs Arsenal team news<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Two regular Liverpool starters face late fitness tests ahead of Sunday’s match against Arsenal at Anfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victor Munoz, who has impressed since his summer arrival from Osasuna<\/a>, has been missing for the last few weeks. The Spanish winger has missed his side’s last three games after hurting his knee against Brentford<\/a>. However, he could return here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andoni Iraola is taking more care with Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a>‘s hamstring injury. The Hungarian returned too early against Brentford in October and had to miss a handful more games, but he is expected to be fit enough for the bench at least in this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are still a handful of Reds stars that are nowhere near full fitness just yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremie Frimpong<\/a>‘s hamstring problem is expected to keep him out for at least another two weeks. Fellow full-back Connor Bradley picked up a signifcant injury against Arsenal last season and he could return in a few more weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Giovanni Leoni<\/a> and Hugo Ekitike are still some way from making their own comebacks, although the French forward is supposedly further along in his recovery than his team-mate at this stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Arsenal team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The biggest question mark for Arsenal is over who will start on the right wing. With Bukayo Saka<\/a> already out with a long-term injury, youngster Max Dowman<\/a> will miss this trip to Anfield through suspension after being sent off in the EFL Cup loss at Fleetwood Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noni Madueke<\/a> is the obvious choice, although he missed that trip to the Fylde coast with an ankle knock. The England<\/a> international is facing a race against the clock to be fit for this huge Super Sunday clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declan Rice<\/a> and Ricardo Calafiori were also left out of that trip. Both players suffered slight niggles in the win over Everton last weekend, but should return here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

William Saliba<\/a> is yet to feature this season, but he could be back before the end of November. The Frenchman has been out with a serious back injury since pre-season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool vs Arsenal predicted lineups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): <\/strong>Alisson; Araujo, Jacquet, van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Munoz, Wirtz, Barcola; Isak<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal (4-2-3-1): <\/strong>Raya; White, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Guimaraes; Madueke, Odegaard, Eze; Havertz<\/p>\n\n\n
