THE TEAM NEWS

ARSENAL

Remarkably, Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Ghanaian international midfielder Thomas Partey has suffered yet another setback so he will be unavailable once again this weekend as they welcome the league leaders to north London.

Jurrien Timber remains out injured, whilst Takehiro Tomiyasu is still with the Japanese national team at the AFC Asian up in Qatar. However, Mohamed Elneny has returned to the squad after Egypt were knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations last week.

PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli

UNAVAILABLE: Timber (Injured), Tomiyasu (International duty), Partey (Injured),

QUESTIONABLE: Vieira (Injured)

LIVERPOOL

“I don’t know if Darwin is available… he left the stadium in a boot. Nothing broken, x-ray clear. But swollen. We have to see if his foot can get back in a boot.” That was Jurgen Klopp commenting on in-form Uruguayan forward Darwin Nunez’s potential fitness this weekend.

Wataru Endo remains on international duty with Japan at the AFC Asian Cup, whilst the likes of Joel Matip and Stefan Bajcetic are long-term injury absentees. There is an expectation that Trent Alexander-Arnold replaced Conor Bradley, despite Bradley’s recent performances.

PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones; Luiz Diaz, Gakpo, Diogo Jota

UNAVAILABLE: Matip (Injured), Tsimikas (Injured), Endo (International duty), Bajcetic (Injured), Thiago (Injured), Salah (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Nunez (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

Just before Christmas, Arsenal had the chance to take advantage in the Premier League title race but they have drifted to five points behind and could be eight points off the league leaders if they lose on Sunday afternoon. Liverpool defeated Arsenal by two goals to nil at the Emirates in the FA Cup last month and their form has been magnificent of late, scoring 22 goals with six victories and a draw in their seven games across all competitions so far this season. The Reds are favourites for this one.

TIP: LIVERPOOL TO WIN
