Overview
- The Premier League fixture is confirmed for Sunday 1 November with a 16:30 GMT kick-off at Anfield and live coverage on Sky Sports.
- Arsenal enter the match carrying the damage of Tuesday’s surprise Carabao Cup penalty defeat to Fleetwood Town and the loss has raised question marks over their form.
- Key Arsenal absences include Bukayo Saka and William Saliba while 16‑year‑old Max Dowman is suspended after an appeal rejection, and Liverpool have late doubts over Dominik Szoboszlai and Víctor Muñoz.
- Referee Andy Madley will take charge with Stuart Attwell on VAR, and both managers have signalled that last‑minute fitness checks could alter their starting line‑ups.
- The result has clear table consequences because Arsenal sit six points above Liverpool after eight league games and Arsenal’s long wait for a top‑flight win at Anfield since 2012 adds extra pressure on Mikel Arteta’s side.
