Arsenal v Liverpool live updates - latest Premier League score as Jota and Firmino put Reds in control

Second-half goals by Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino do the damage as Liverpool edge closer to the Premier League summit. Having been 14 points behind Man City in January, Jurgen Klopp's side are now breathing down the league leaders' necks.

Arsenal's top-four hopes remain in their hands and Mikel Arteta will be hoping this is only a minor setback in their quest to claim Champions League football.

Liverpool closing in on what is a huge victory. This will make it nine wins in a row!

Liverpool's final switch sees Thiago replaced by Jones.

Martinelli tries to find the top corner but it's always curling wide of the target.

Arsenal simply haven't been clinical enough this evening, despite a promising performance.

While Liverpool move ever close to the summit, Arsenal will remain fourth - one point ahead of Manchester United in fifth.

With this game all but lost, taking Lacazette off for Nketiah is an indication that Arteta is already switching his attention to Aston Villa away on Saturday.

Every game is crucial now as the Gunners look to end a four-year wait for a return to the Champions League.

Their third and final change sees Nketiah replacing Lacazette.

Emile Smith Rowe comes on for Odegaard.

Those goals have certainly silenced the Emirates. Having been on top for so long in this contest, Arsenal have been left to rue missed opportunities and soft defending.

Firmino is booked for going into the crowed to celebrate his goal.

What an aspired substitution by Klopp, who is almost immediately rewarded.

This should be game over! Saka fails to clear as Robertson makes the block, drives to the by-line and his low cross picks out Firmino and he makes no mistake with the finish.
