Stephan Lichtsteiner plays a clever ball into the box for Aaron Ramsey, who curled his run to stay onside. The ball is slightly too heavy though and it races over the backline.

Former Arsenal chairman Peter-Hill Wood died at the age of 82 on Friday so all the players are wearing black armbands in his honour today.

Bernd Leno gives away a needless throw-in near the corner flag. Nervy start from Arsenal this.

An early ball forward by Trent Alexander-Arnold is flicked on by Mohamed Salah but it's dealt with well by Sead Kolasinac.

Sadio Mane then tries to feed it into Roberto Firmino on the edge of the box but it's nicked away before Andy Robertson flashes a dangerous ball across the face of the goal. Mane is inches away!

Liverpool are a very good team and they are in a very good moment. That doesn't mean they won't have bad moments between now and the end of the season but, right now, they are extremely hard to stop.

Can I see them scoring against Arsenal? Yes. Can I see Arsenal scoring at Anfield? No.

Prediction: 2-0

There have been so many classic encounters over the years between Liverpool and Arsenal that you cannot help but be excited by the prospect of the latest clash.

Liverpool have won every Premier League game they have played since drawing at the Emirates back in early November, setting a pace that even Manchester City have failed to match.

Everyone knows that compared to last season's halfway mark, Klopp's side have won far more points (16 more) and conceded far fewer goals (16 less) - but they have also scored two more goals.

Given that, you could argue that there's more to come from the Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino axis - that's a surprise.

Arsenal's stats are also better than last season, but stopping Liverpool's steamroller in its tracks will not be easy.

One&OnlyRavi: So out of 10 outfield players, Unai Emery has gone for 5 in defence, with 2 DMs protecting, and 2 workhorse midfielders in front of them. No pressure Aubameyang...

It is not just Virgil van Dijk who has brought Liverpool to where they are this season. The amount of defensive changes this season is incredible.

Usually you can name a settled back four but that's not been the case. Yes Allison and Van Dijk have been the final pieces, but Jurgen Klopp has been putting this side together for over two years. Everyone knows how he wants to play. All the players know what is desired.

Virgil van Dijk is high-fiving his teammates as Liverpool wrap up the warm-up and head back into the tunnel.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the last player on the turf for Arsenal. He wants one last pop at goal before getting stripped.

The youngsters have made a difference at Liverpool, as has the new goalkeeper Alisson. But has anyone seen Virgil van Dijk make a mistake?

I am yet to see one. I went through all seven league goals Liverpool have conceded and he was not at fault for any one of them. Liverpool’s improvement is a large part down to him.

When it comes to taking on the big teams, Arsenal have fallen behind some of their top six rivals.

Against the other five opposition, Arsenal have picked up just one win (against Tottenham) in the league this season but have battled for two draws - including the 1-1 with Liverpool.

Arsenal are also winless in 19 Premier League away matches against sides from the established top six since a 2-0 triumph at Manchester City in January 2015 (D7, L12).

Today's hosts Liverpool have picked up wins against Tottenham and Manchester United, as well as draws with Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City - remaining unbeaten.

Arsenal can play Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the left, like Thierry Henry did, floating in from left. Arsenal are better when they play away as sides have to come at them.

Even though Aubameyang is the joint-top scorer in the Premier League with 13 goals, he and Alexandre Lacazette have combined six times for goals. The relationship between those two is important and the celebrations are key. You can tell they are having a good laugh and it shows on the pitch. Arsenal are better if you play them together.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been directly involved in 30 goals in his 32 Premier League appearances for Arsenal, scoring 23 and assisting seven.

Usmanovic: Trusting Tottenham to keep pressure on Liverpool was like trusting Mourinho to change his style of play.

Liverpool thought they had ended Arsenal's unbeaten run when the two teams faced each other in November.

James Milner's powerful strike just after the hour put Liverpool on course for victory but a resilient Arsenal fought back to earn a point at the Emirates.

Alexandre Lacazette's 82nd-minute equaliser extended the Gunners' unbeaten run to 13 games, while the draw moved Liverpool up to the top of the table momentarily.
