The fact both teams come into today’s game number one and number two in the table respectively adds even more bite to the fixture, and both managers will know that.

A win for either side will see them go top, with Liverpool’s goal difference compared to Arsenal likely to be the only varying factor.

As for Liverpool, the Merseyside club see Curtis Jones return to their starting 11 and Klopp has opted for Diogo Jota over Luis Diaz on the left, despite the Colombian’s impressive international break.
