Mikel Arteta’s men are now five points adrift, with both teams having played 22 games. Jurgen Klopp visited the Emirates Stadium for the last time as Liverpool manager.
He will, and Darwin Nunes could be fit again despite his midweek injury. The Uruguayan will train as usual on Friday. Alexis McAllister also seems to have recovered from the Chelsea game. While this is the highlight of the day from Liverpool’s perspective, it is not the only game. Elsewhere, Manchester United take on West Ham United and there are a number of transfer links in the news.

The cost would be astronomical.
