Arsenal v Liverpool: Premier League – live
Premier League updates from the 4.30pm GMT kick-offLive scoreboard | Arteta is at last shrugging off the past
And Arne Slot’s
Curtis [Jones] has had a week’s rest so hopefully he can perform the way he did last week.
You don’t think about the points gap [Liverpool will go seven clear of Arsenal if they win] before a game, you think about preparing the team in the best possible way for them to perform. Sometimes it’s the quality of the player that makes the difference; sometimes it’s a lucky decision. Set-pieces are also important. You have to put a lot of effort in, then at the end if you get a result you can look at the points difference.
[On the return of Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber] They tried so hard to be available and it’s a big boost for us. Injuries mean an opportunity for others and we have an unbelievable squad.
A message for the crowd as well: when they come here to the Emirates they really need to feel it, and we have to play with that body language and certainty to win the game.
