There's a really big game feeling around this game. It's a chance for Arsenal to make a statement but also a chance for Andoni Iraola's Liverpool to announce themselves.

Trey Nyoni snaps into the challenge on Martin Odegaard and it's a sore one for the Arsenal skipper as the youngster stands on the outside of his ankle.

Lucky not to be carded there.

And the first 10 seconds throw up a challenge between Christos Tzolis and Ronald Araujo.

The big Uruguayan comes out on top.

Away we go at a crackling Anfield.

Another period of silence beautifully observed.

As this is Liverpool's final Premier League game before Remembrance Day, there will be a period of silence as the Last Post is played and wreaths are laid.

Such a journey for Trey Nyoni. He made his Liverpool debut as a 16-year-old under Jurgen Klopp in 2024 and after the departure of Curtis Jones in the summer, Nyoni has seized his opportunity in style.

He was arguably the standout story of Liverpool's pre-season tour and Andoni Iraola has constantly been full of praise for the 19-year-old since.

Against Chelsea in midweek, Nyoni had more touches than anyone else on the pitch. Now it's time see how he fares in his first Premier League start against none other than the reigning champions.

The Arsenal fans are doing their best to chant over the top of You'll Never Walk Alone.

I think we could be in store for a cracker here (hopefully)!

Liverpool proved me wrong against Brighton last week, because they didn't just win, they played well too.

After conceding so many goals last season, you can see they have really tightened things up. Arsenal don't give much away either, so this is going to be very close.

Alexander Isak is scoring goals again for the Reds, and they will be full of confidence coming into this game.

You could make a case for it ending up a repeat of the result we saw at the end of last season, when Dominik Szoboszlai's brilliant free-kick meant Liverpool edged a 1-0 win.

I do think we will see the same scoreline, just with a different winner.

Liverpool's £125m man has come to life this season.

Alexander Isak was not the striker we were used to seeing last campaign but he's now got six goals in seven games.

Will he net again today?

When they do play Arsenal at home, why would they ever perceive themselves to be an underdog? They've won this game [at Anfield] so many times that you can't just have the idea in your head that because Arsenal are champions - yes they are the most consistent, but there are certain situations, where you will really like your chances.

It doesn't matter who goes to Anfield. They'll really and truly be up for it. At times they have a style of play that will sort of matchup against an Arsenal side.

There's certainly a sense of optimism around Anfield today.

It's fair to say that Andoni Iraola has already had a positive start to life at Liverpool but a result today would deliver a real statement to the rest of the Premier League.

"It has also felt like the connection with Anfield is growing and that is something that gives me a lot of satisfaction," Iraola writes in his programme notes.

This is the fourth home game in a row for Liverpool and having won the previous three, Iraola will be hoping for more of the same.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool are the biggest title challengers to Arsenal,, external though, speaking on Friday, Andoni Iraola insisted it was too early to look at the table.

But what do you think?

Arsenal

Defender Gabriel Magalhaes, speaking to Sky Sports on if the Gunners are motivated by trying to become the first Arsenal team to win at Anfield in the Premier League since 2012: "I think so. We know it's tough to come here, they have a really good team. It's tough to play here against them. It's an opportunity to get the three points and we are ready for this.

"We are ready for this battle today, we know it's going to be really difficult but we prepared well to come here and win"

On what type of game he expects: "I expect big chaos in the game. We are ready, it's a big battle and we are ready."

Are Liverpool starting to turn a corner under Andoni Iraola? I guess we'll see after today!

Since that 3-0 loss to Man City, the Reds have two top wins over Brentford and Brighton.

Just 15 minutes until kick-off. We've almost made it.

Are we all excited?

Arsenal have managed to string three wins together after that thumping at Brighton, but they've certainly been made to work.

Do the Gunners need to be more expressive in attack?

Liverpool

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, speaking to Sky Sports: "Winning obviously helps. If you look at the performances, we are getting better and improving. That's a good sign. Today is a massive game and we are really looking forward to it."

On Arsenal: "Arsenal are a lot more than set pieces, everyone can see that. They have strength in depth but they are also very solid. We are playing against the champions so we are expecting a big game and we are up for it."

On if it's too early to be looking at the table and the gap to the leaders: "I'm the wrong person to ask. We are focusing on today and that focus is already too big to be thinking too far ahead. Let's go for it."
