Arsenal vs Liverpool | Premier League | Gameweek 9 - Live Match
More concerning lack of discipline from Mikel Arteta's team cost them heavily against Bournemouth, but before last weekend's trip to the South Coast, Arsenal supporters had to travel back to New Year's Eve 2023 for the last time their team was defeated in a Premier League away game.
The match was not decided by William Saliba's dismissal in the first half because Arsenal had managed to hold out for draws against Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion. However, Justin Kluivert's penalty and a brilliant goal from Ryan Christie from a corner ended the Gunners' fantastic 12-game unbeaten road run in the Premier League.
In addition, Arsenal's loss at the Vitality Stadium was their first in six months, a fact that a confident Arteta highlighted in his press conference as his team lost the chance to finish first in the rankings on Saturday night. They enter the weekend in third place, four points behind the top visitors.
When Shakhtar visited in the Champions League, a team without Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka once again lacked creativity. Arteta's team defeated Shakhtar by an unfortunate own goal from Dmytro Riznyk, but the victory means that the home team is now on a five-game winning streak at the Emirates.

Arsenal vs Liverpool Team News
Arsenal Team News
Given Saliba's suspension, Kieran Tierney's absence, and Takehiro Tomiyasu's recent knee injury, Arteta didn't need to lose another defender to injury on Tuesday night. As it turned out, Riccardo Calafiori was substituted in the second half following a clumsy fall.
Jurrien Timber (muscle) and Bukayo Saka (hamstring) were not present at training on Friday, and Arteta promptly acknowledged that the Italian's situation was "not great."
Saka is reportedly hoping to be fit for the Reds' visit, where Kai Havertz could make history by becoming the first Arsenal player since Thierry Henry to score in six straight Premier League home games.
Liverpool Team News
Although Caoimhin Kelleher earned his spot in midweek with a number of outstanding saves to keep Leipzig out, Liverpool's number one, Alisson Becker, is still sidelined due to a thigh injury.
Diogo Jota (abdominal) and Harvey Elliott (foot) join Alisson in the illness; the latter's absence ensures Darwin Nunez will start up front again, while Federico Chiesa and Conor Bradley are both doubtful.
Jones's victory over Chelsea shouldn't be enough to force Slot to alter the established midfield order of Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and a revitalized Ryan Gravenberch. Slot has a better kind of problem on the left flank, where Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo are both fighting for a start.
