Arsenal vs Liverpool live score, updates, lineups, highlights and result from Premier League title race clash

Arsenal welcome Liverpool to Emirates Stadium for a game that could prove pivotal in the destination of the Premier League title.

Liverpool lead the way, five points clear of Mikel Arteta’s men and Manchester City, although Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions have a game in hand.

The Gunners drew 1-1 at Anfield on December 23, a result that left them top of the table at Christmas. Back-to-back London derby defeats against West Ham and Fulham checked their progress, although they have brushed aside Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest to get back in the win column.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds needed no second invitation to grasp the initiative and have won four out of four in the Premier League since facing Arsenal, scoring at least four times in each of their past three league matches to come into this one in scintillating form

Arsenal vs Liverpool live updates, highlights, and commentary

55 mins prior to kickoff: Two changes for Arsenal to the team that beat Nottingham Forest 2-1. Gabriel Jesus misses out with a knee injury, meaning Kai Havertz comes in to play at centre-forward. Emile Smith Rowe replaced the Germany international in midfield at the City Ground but makes way for Jorginho, as Arteta understandably opts for a touch of pragmatism against the in-form Reds.

1 hour prior to kickoff: The teams are in. Let’s start with Liverpool. Dominik Szoboszlai does indeed miss out, with Ryan Gravenberch starting in midfield. Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to the defence, with Cody Gakpo leading the attack. Darwin Nunez is only fit enough for a place on the bench after suffering a swollen foot during the 4-1 midweek win over Chelsea.

1 hr 10 mins prior to kickoff: It’s probably a bit early to be talking like this (it certainly is in mathematical terms) but it could be hard to see a way back for Arsenal’s title aspirations if they lose today. That would put them eight points behind Liverpool and level with Manchester City, who will have two games in hand. City’s recent form and Klopp announcing his Liverpool departure appears to have set the stage for another titanic showdown between the two best teams of recent seasons. Mikel Arteta badly needs his players to rip up that script.

1 hr 30 mins prior to kickoff: Confirmed team news will be with us in about half an hour but there’s seemingly a significant blow for Liverpool. David Lynch is reporting that Dominik Szoboszlai has not travelled to London with Jurgen Klopp’s squad. The reason for the Hungary international’s absence is unclear at this stage but he only recently returned from a hamstring problem.
