Arsenal are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games, what has changed since the Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Liverpool?
The main thing is having a settled team. Granit Xhaka had been suspended and Thomas Partey was at AFCON. Since then, Mikel Arteta has opted to switch his system and play the latter slightly deeper, with Xhaka more advanced alongside Martin Odegaard, who has also excelled in recent weeks. Similarly, Bukayo Saka has been unstoppable in the final third, skipping past fullbacks for fun and finding the back of the net more regularly.
Liverpool won the reverse fixture at Anfield earlier in the season and knocked the Gunners out of the cup back in January - is revenge on the cards for Arsenal tomorrow night?
Arsenal are definitely in the kind of form that could make this a more competitive match. However, Jurgen Klopp seems to always set his team up perfectly against the north London club. I can’t see anything other than a win for the Reds in all honesty.

The two teams have met three times already this term and the one occasion Arsenal gained a positive result was the 0-0 draw in the first leg of the semi-final. They went quite defensive in that game at Anfield (partly due to the red card), will Arteta use that as a blueprint to get a result this time around or will he take a more expansive approach as they're at home?
I think he will go for a more expansive approach. The only real reason he played a deep block at Anfield was because of the aforementioned red card.
Since the last time the two sides met, who has been the standout performer for Arsenal that Liverpool should be wary of?
Definitely Martin Odegaard. The Norwegian playmaker has pressed relentlessly whilst also picking up fantastic positions in between the lines to help create chances for his teammates. Fabinho will need to be on his game to keep the former Real Madrid star quiet.
Arsenal players were given red cards in both of the semi-final matches and they're joint top with Aston Villa for red cards this season (3) - is discipline a concern for Arsenal heading into this or is it something that has improved in recent times?
Under Arteta it seems to always be a concern. The Gunners aren’t a particularly dirty team but can make silly decisions when the pressure is high, as seen during the 2-1 loss to Manchester City back in January.
Arteta praised Klopp in his press conference for the team and culture he’s created at Liverpool - is that something Arteta can achieve at Arsenal and how far away are they from attaining that?
It is still early days for Arteta at Arsenal but he is most definitely on an upward trajectory. Replicating Klopp is no easy task but getting top-four this season would help massively in the summer transfer window.
Salah and Mane both missed the Carabao Cup semi-finals due to AFCON. Now they're back and Liverpool have added Diaz to the equation too. Just how fearful should teams be of Liverpool’s attack?
That front is a very scary sight, especially when you factor in Diogo Jota, who always seems to perform against Arsenal. Cedric at right-back could definitely struggle against Diaz, if the Colombian starts on the left flank.
If you could take one player from this Liverpool team at Arsenal - who would it be and why?
It has to be Mohamed Salah. The likes of Trent-Alexander Arnold and Virgil van Dijk are both obviously world class but the Egyptian is arguably the best player in the world on current form. He just can’t be kept quiet.
There has been a lot of praise for Ben White recently - how does he compare to Liverpool's defenders?
White is similar to Virgil Van Dijk in some aspects. He isn’t rash and is excellent on the ball, often Arsenal rely on his progressive passing in the build-up phase. However, he still has some improvements to make to take his game to the next level, struggling aerially on occasion.
Arsenal have turned things around and it's all to play for, what would represent a good season for them at this point?
A top-four finish is a must. Anything less than that would be hugely disappointing given the current league table.
Finally, what is your prediction for Wednesday night?
As good as Arsenal have been in recent weeks I can’t see anything other than a Liverpool win. I think it will be 3-1 to the Reds.
