Arsenal 0 — 0 Liverpool | LiveScores 0 – 0

Arsenal and Liverpool are gearing up for an eagerly awaited showdown in the FA Cup third-round weekend.

This clash carries immense significance for Arsenal, who are determined to bounce back after suffering consecutive defeats.

While this game may not directly impact their Premier League standing, both Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp recognize the potential psychological implications it could have on the title race.

Arsenal cannot afford another loss as it would further disrupt their season. On the other hand, Liverpool will be without Mohamed Salah, who has joined the Egypt squad for the Africa Cup of Nations.

In a unique move, Arsenal will be sporting an all-white kit at home for the first time as part of their campaign against knife crime and youth violence.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 4.30pm GMT, and fans can witness all the action at the Emirates. Arteta acknowledges that their recent defeats have halted their Premier League momentum, but he urges against scrutinizing their rocky run too closely.

The Gunners are determined to avoid a third consecutive defeat, a feat they haven’t experienced since April 2022.

Arteta emphasizes the importance of maintaining a broader perspective as a manager, analyzing things comprehensively, and not allowing one performance to overshadow the bigger picture.

As for the match, Liverpool has implemented a number of alterations to their lineup.

Van Dijk is currently unavailable, while Salah is fulfilling his duties for the Africa Cup of Nations. Furthermore, Szoboszlai is unable to participate due to injury. Conversely, Arsenal’s lineup remains unaltered.
