Joe Gomez remains sidelined, while captain Virgil van Dijk is set for the 300th Premier League appearance of his career.

Arsenal are still without injured quartet Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Magalhaes, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kai Havertz.

Riccardo Calafiori made his comeback from a knee issue as a substitute against Paris Saint-Germain, while Jorginho also returned to the matchday squad in midweek following a lay-off.

Match facts

Head-to-head

  • Liverpool have not lost a Premier League home game against Arsenal since a 2-0 defeat in September 2012, a match current boss Mikel Arteta started for the Gunners.

  • The Londoners are unbeaten in five top-flight fixtures versus the Reds (W2, D3), their longest undefeated run against them since an eight-game sequence between 2007 and 2011.

Liverpool

  • Liverpool could become the third team to lose back-to-back Premier League matches immediately after clinching the title, following Arsenal in 1997-98 and Chelsea in 2005-06.

  • The last time the Merseysiders lost consecutive top-flight fixtures was in March and April 2023, against Bournemouth and Manchester City.

  • They are unbeaten in 15 home league games since losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest on 14 September (W13, D2).

  • Virgil van Dijk is set to make his 300th Premier League appearance. The only other Dutchmen to reach the milestone are George Boateng (384), Dennis Bergkamp (315) and Edwin van der Sar (313).

  • Mohamed Salah has 185 career goals in 298 Premier League appearances, and needs two more to equal Andrew Cole as the third highest scorer in the competition. That includes 11 against Arsenal - he has only netted more against Manchester United and Tottenham.

  • Salah has a combined tally of 46 Premier League goals and assists this season, one shy of the competition record shared by Cole (1993-94) and Alan Shearer (1994-95), both for Newcastle over 42-game campaigns.

  • The Egyptian has 18 Premier League assists this term, two short of the record set by Thierry Henry in 2002-03 and matched by Kevin de Bruyne in 2019-20.

Arsenal

  • The Gunners have lost three consecutive league and cup games for the first time since a similar sequence in December 2023 and January 2024.

  • They last lost four in a row in February and March 2018, during Arsene Wenger's final season in charge.

  • Arsenal have dropped 21 points from winning positions this season, equalling their highest figure in a Premier League campaign (set in 2019-20).

  • Twelve of the 31 Premier League goals they have conceded this season have come from set-pieces (excluding penalties), equivalent to 39% - the highest share of any club in 2024-25.

  • Bukayo Saka has scored four goals in his last five Premier League games against Liverpool, though he has failed to score or assist in each of his three previous appearances at Anfield.
