Storylines
Liverpool: The Reds are arguably the strongest team in England and will be the favorites here, but with important clashes coming up in the Premier League and the Champions League, it will be interesting to see how many minutes young players get. This is the perfect game for key role players like Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri to get significant minutes.
Arsenal: The Gunners lost at Sheffield United and then drew Crystal Palace at home as the pressure mounts on Unai Emery. Even Jose Mourinho is keeping an eye on the situation. This team's so inconsistent at both ends of the pitch, and the priority here has to be defend in numbers, get the ball out of the back quickly and watch for those diagonal runs.
Prediction
The Reds put the Gunners away in the first 60 minutes to move on.
Pick: Liverpool 3, Arsenal 1
