It's match day and Liverpool return to Premier League action with a trip to the Emirates to face in-form Arsenal.

The Reds have 26 points from their first 10 matches and only goal difference currently keeps them off the Premier League summit behind defending champions Manchester City but after a tough start under new manager Unai Emery following Arsene Wenger's long reign of over two decades - losing to City and Chelsea in their opening two fixtures - the Gunners are unbeaten in their last 13 matches, a run that including an 11-game winning streak in all competitions.

With Pep Guardiola's side not playing until tomorrow, Jurgen Klopp's men know that a result in the capital will see them climb back into top spot and a win away to Arsenal would go a long way in reinforcing their title hopes.

Liverpool midfielders Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita are again ruled out by hamstring injuries.

Mohamed Salah has worn protective strapping in training this week because of an inflamed wrist tendon, but he is fit to play against the Gunners.

Arsenal will monitor right-back Hector Bellerin, who was forced off last weekend because of a muscle problem.

Matteo Guendouzi is suspended, while Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac are nearing returns from hamstring injuries and will be assessed.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos, who is nursing an ankle problem, is also a doubt ahead of this evening's game.

We'll have James Pearce and Ian Doyle at the stadium providing you with regular updates while Chris Beesley, Joe Rimmer and Paul Gorst are manning the fort back at ECHO HQ at St Paul's Square in Liverpool city centre.
