Arsenal travel to Anfield to face a struggling Liverpool side in Saturday’s evening Premier League kick-off.
Liverpool were beaten 3-1 away at Leicester City on Monday night, with Jamie Vardy scoring twice.
Leicester hadn’t scored a league goal in 2017, yet dominated a poor Liverpool side.
Arsenal haven’t played in a fortnight since a 2-0 win away at non-league Sutton United in the FA Cup.
Goals from Lucas Perez and Theo Walcott secured a comfortable win for the Gunners.
