The two joint-best defences in the English top-flight in Liverpool and Arsenal (not to mention evenly matched offensively) are set to go head-to-head in Merseyside.

It’s a fixture that should suit the hosts infinitely more than the opposition and dour stalemate fans were served up against Manchester United a week ago.

Jurgen Klopp’s men enter this one reinvigorated by a devastating showing against West Ham in the Carabao Cup in which five goals were put past a shellshocked Hammers outfit.
