Welcome to LIVE minute-by-minute coverage of Arsenal against Liverpool in the Premier League.

Liverpool have had most of the ball in the early sparring. Not much to shout home about at present though.

KICK OFF! Liverpool get us up and running.

James Milner on Liverpool’s dramatic league dip: "The players are as disappointed, if not more so, as the fans. We know how many people want us to do well and the support we have around the world is incredible, so we’re desperate to do well for them. For ourselves as well obviously – and for the team and the club. But ultimately the fans have been around before we were players for the team and they’ll be around long after we’ve gone. They’re so important and the most important part of the football club really. And we’re desperate to do well for them."

Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is happy to hear French forward Alexandre Lacazette is attracting interest from European clubs.

Klopp: “Arsenal are a quality side. If you go through the team, there's a lot of potential and quality already and they have the experience of youth. They are a really exciting team but the Premier League is a tough league and if you're not at the top level, you get punished. We obviously realise that as well. It's a tough one, but it will be a tough one for Arsenal as well. We want to be a team Arsenal do not want to face. We have to fight with all we have."

Liverpool team: Alisson, Trent AA, Kabak, Phillips, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Milner, Mane, Firmino, Salah. Subs: Adrian, Wijnaldum, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Jota, Tsimikas, Shaqiri, R. Williams.

It is ninth – Arsenal – against seventh – Liverpool – to mark Mikel Arteta’s 50th game in charge of the Gunners. Both sides are chasing European football.
