\"Arsenal<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a> can go eight points clear at the top of the Premier League with a win over champions Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last season\u2019s top two meet in north London this week, though the two sides have experienced contrasting campaigns thus far with 14 points separating them in the table.<\/p>\n

Arsenal lead the way are well-placed to end their 20-plus year wait for a Premier League title, while the defending champions are having to settle for a top-four battle.<\/p>\n

Their chances were further boosted on Wednesday night as Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton.<\/p>\n

Date, kick-off time and venue<\/p>\n

Arsenal vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 8pm GMT kick-off tonight, Thursday, January 8, 2026.<\/p>\n

Arsenal vs Liverpool team news<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s injury woes are beginning to clear with Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera the only first team players sidelined along with youngster Max Dowman.<\/p>\n

Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard are expected to return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the 3-2 win over Bournemouth, while Piero Hincapie should get the nod over Myles Lewis-Skelly at left-back.<\/p>\n

Slot has been rotating his full-backs recently, so it could mean that Joe Gomez and Andy Robertson start to provide a more solid defensive platform.<\/p>\n

Arsenal vs Liverpool prediction<\/p>\n

While Arsenal are expected to win this match, and quite convincingly in the view of many, these types of games rarely turn out in such a way.<\/p>\n

Regardless of Liverpool\u2019s form, this will be a close encounter and we think the Gunners will edge it – just.<\/p>\n
