Liverpool picked up where they left off after winning the 2019/2020 Premier League season as they won their first two league games against Leeds(4-3) and away against Chelsea(0-2).

Arsenal won the FA Cup and they defeated Liverpool for the Community Shield on penalties. Arsenal started the league season with a back to back win by beating Fulham 3-0 away from and won 2-1 against West Ham.

Jurgen KLopp is likely to play a similar team to the one that won Chelsea 2-0 last weekend which saw Fabinho been paired with Van Dijk at the central defense, Thiago Alcantara might start at the base of the Midfield as Jordan Henderson is unlikely to play due to thigh strain.

Arsenal have a number of injuries defensively as Pablo Mari, Shkodran Mustafi, Emile Smith Rowe,  Sokratis,  Kieran Tierney, and Calum Chambers are ruled out or doubts for the game. Liverpool will  be hoping to take advantage of the injury issues Arsenal has.
