Both sides go into the game unbeaten and know that maintaining their unbeaten run is vital to keep the pace at the top of the table. Liverpool will be wanting to banish their European nightmares from midweek, while Arsenal will want to continued their excellent scoring run.
Liverpool will be without Jermaine Pennant for at least 10 weeks after he was ruled out for surgery on a stress fracture of his right tibia. Alvaro Arbeloa (thigh) is also doubtful as Liverpool look to return to winning ways against an in-form Arsenal.
But the good news is that Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres should be available, while Harry Kewell is on his way back towards the first team although the clash against Arsenal might be just a bit too soon.
Arsenal will be without Philippe Senderos (back) and Robin Van Persie (knee) while Almunia is expected to keep his place in goal.
After being displaced from the top of the table by Manchester United on Saturday, the Gunners will be looking for a good result at Anfield to lift them back to the summit before next week’s clash with the Red Devils.
