Liverpool vs Arsenal: team news, match details, key stats & predicted lineup

Club football resumes after a hiatus and Arsenal will be involved in gameweek 12's standout fixture against Liverpool.

Arsenal’s unbeaten run of ten games across all competitions will face its biggest test yet on Saturday when they travel to Merseyside to take on Liverpool.

Just before the international break, the Gunners had a 1-0 win over Watford and narrowed the gap between themselves and the top four.

While Liverpool who are two points and a place ahead of Arsenal suffered their first defeat in the Premier League this season. A 3-2 loss to West Ham United ended their 20 game unbeaten run in the Premier League, and a 25 game unbeaten run across all competitions.

Team news

Granit Xhaka [knee] and Sead Kolasinac [ankle] are ruled out of Saturday’s game. Arsenal are set to be boosted by the availability of Thomas Partey and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Partey had picked up a groin injury that made him miss Arsenal’s last game and international duty with Ghana while Aubameyang picked up an injury during the international break.

The duo will be assessed ahead of the game alongside Folarin Balogun [cramps].
