Liverpool vs Arsenal is a mid week game on January 13 at Anfield.
We've got lines coming into us all the time and reporter Andy Burton has just spoken to Arsene Wenger at Arsenal. He tells us they'll have the in-form Mesut Ozil and Mathieu Flamini available for the trip to Liverpool. Tomas Rosicky - who has been out since last summer after knee surgery - is also back in full training but he's not expected to be in the squad.

Adding to his comments about Alexis Sanchez earlier, Wenger explains he has developed well since he was hurt at Norwich and said: "We try to be cautious with him - if you listen to Alexis he's always fit to play."

Arsène Wenger reported the following team news ahead of the Premier League game against Liverpool:
on the team news…
We will have to test Ospina who was not available on Saturday. We have Rosicky back in training so the situation is getting better.
on Ospina…
Ospina is a muscular issue and we have to check if he will be available or not. Overall I think he has a 60/40 chance to make it.
on Tomas Rosicky…
He will be back in full training this week, it is fantastic because he has been out for very long and it is good to know that a player of that calibre is back in our squad.
on Alexis…
We think he will be short for Wednesday, he has a chance to be available for Sunday [against Stoke]. He is always keen to play. If you listen to Alexis, he can always play - even when he is injured. We try to be cautious. With a muscular injury you never exactly how big the risk but he is very close. If you look at him training he is very close.
Arsenal travel to Anfield on Wednesday evening to face an injury stricken Liverpool side. The Klopp effect seems to have slightly worn off with Liverpool struggling for consistency in recent weeks. Much of this can be put down to a punishing schedule colliding with a change in system and half the squad out with injuries. Liverpool's inconsistency is both blessing and curse for Arsenal.

With Man City hosting Everton and Leicester travelling to White Hart Lane there is potential for Arsenal to increase their lead at the top of the table. Everton are more than capable of taking the game to City and Leicester will have to face a mean Spurs defence without Vardy leading the line.

Arsenal's momentum and greater quality should see them comfortably back onto the team coach to London with 3 points. Overcoming a depleted Liverpool side suffering from inconsistency and fixture overload - if they win the FA Cup replay against Exeter they could play 9 games in January alone - should be straightforward enough for a title chasing team. However, Liverpool's woes makes it difficult to predict what sort of team or system Jurgen Klopp will play and you can never completely ignore home advantage. Arsenal will have to ensure they don't do what they always seem to do and trip themselves up with complacency and overconfidence.
The Gunners managed to come from behind against Sunderland in the FA Cup without Özil and have been performing to a high standard sans big guns like Alexis, Cazorla and Coquelin winning 7 of their last 10 matches with a solitary blip against Southampton on Boxing Day. That said, Arsenal haven't won away in the league since October except to Aston Villa. They'll need to correct this tomorrow night and rack up points on their chasing rivals whilst they can.
