"Arsenal will move eight points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League if they beat reigning champions Liverpool at home on Thursday. Brighton & Hove Albion did Mikel Arteta's side a favour by holding City to a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, as did Crystal Palace by sharing a 0-0 draw at home to third-placed Aston Villa, who are behind the Cityzens only on goal inferiority."
"Arsenal make two changes from their 3-2 win at Bournemouth on Saturday. Both are in attack, where Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka replaces Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli. Winger Max Dowman and defender Cristhian Mosquera (both ankle) remain out, as does full-back Riccardo Calafiori with an unspecified issue. Arsenal starting XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Trossard, Gyokeres"
"Jeremie Frimpong replaces Curtis Jones in the visitors' one change. Defender Joe Gomez is out, while 11-goal leading marksman Hugo Ekitike, who has scored eight times in the top flight this season, is not involved. Midfielder Wataru Endo is injured and striker Alexander Isak has a broken leg. Defender Giovanni Leoni has a long-term knee injury and forward Mohamed Salah is at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt."
Arsenal can move eight points clear of Manchester City with a home win over Liverpool after Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace each dropped points against City and Aston Villa respectively. Liverpool arrive unbeaten in nine matches, having drawn their last two games 0-0 at home to Leeds United and 2-2 at Fulham. Arsenal make two attacking changes from the Bournemouth victory, with Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka coming in and several players sidelined by ankle and other issues. Liverpool make one change and face multiple injuries and absences, including Mohamed Salah at the Africa Cup of Nations.
