Commentary

53'

There's a lot of football still to be played in this second half. However, if Arsenal can hold on for victory, it would be their 300th away from home in the Premier League. Manchester United (328) are the only other team in the competition's history to reach that milestone.

51'

Konsa makes a strong block to thwart Kerkez after Isak's clever touch sent the ball into the left-back's path. The offside flag then goes up anyway, though, so Arsenal can relax for a moment.

48'

The Reds have been on top since the restart. Araujo and Kerkez send crosses into the box from each flank, but both are dealt with by Arsenal. The second one's gathered by Raya.

46'

Liverpool haven't lost to the reigning champions at home in the Premier League since December 2007, when Carlos Tevez secured a 1-0 win for Manchester United. They resume their quest to maintain that streak by getting the second half under way.

Having been marginal pre-match favourites, Arsenal are now the heavy favourites for victory here with Opta's supercomputer at 68.8%. Liverpool's chances of claiming all three points have reduced dramatically to 10%, with a draw at 21.3%. We're set for an exciting climax to this contest.

Arsenal have the lead following a highly entertaining opening 45 minutes at Anfield, where they're 1-0 to the good against Liverpool. The Gunners, who shaded the xG by 0.77 to 0.59, took the lead in the 16th minute, when Rice's superb low ball across the face of goal was turned in at the far post by Havertz. The hosts responded to finish the first half strongly. The crossbar came to Arsenal's rescue to deny Wirtz's superb free-kick from a tight angle. Mac Allister then squandered a golden opportunity just before half-time, as he sent a free header over from eight yards out.
