Overview

  • Kick-off is set for Sunday, August 31 at 16:30 BST at Anfield, with live TV coverage on Sky Sports.
  • Arsenal will be without Bukayo Saka for around four weeks and Kai Havertz due to a knee injury, while Martin Ødegaard remains a doubt after a shoulder issue.
  • Germany official Rudi Völler says Havertz will miss upcoming internationals and may require surgery, underlining Arsenal’s selection problems.
  • Eze joined full training this week and could feature, with some pundits suggesting Mikel Arteta may turn to an Eze–Viktor Gyökeres–Noni Madueke trio, though that forward line is unconfirmed.
  • Liverpool are unbeaten but have defensive questions as pundits highlight struggles for Milos Kerkez and Ibrahima Konaté; Arne Slot weighs changes with Conor Bradley nearing a start, Jeremie Frimpong out until after the break, and a fitness call pending on Alexis Mac Allister.
