Arsenal vs Liverpool confirmed line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture tonight

PA Wire

Arsenal could name the same line-up for the fourth game in a row as they entertain Liverpool in the Premier League.

A long-awaited game in hand for both sides will leave matters evenly poised at the top of the table, with this the fixture the Reds have needed to make up ground on leaders Man City - and a win would put them just a point behind the champions.

The Gunners have played three fewer than their nearest rivals for fourth place and victory would make them heavy favourites to seal a Champions League return next season.

However, since 2014/15 the north London side have only beaten their Merseyside opponents once in the top flight - and that came immediately after the Reds sealed the Premier League title and had noticeably dropped the pace post-pandemic shutdown.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

The match kicks off at 8:15pm GMT on Wednesday 16 March 2022 at the Emirates Stadium.
