The two clubs are scheduled to face each other at Anfield. Arsenal is expected to make significant lineup changes following a Carabao Cup loss, though the squad may see the return of Declan Rice and Noni Madueke. Liverpool is expected to maintain a consistent lineup following a recent victory, though they will be without Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong.
