The Gunners are winless in their last three league games and they will be aiming to make amends against the Reds.

Ahead of the game, the club have suffered a fresh blow with Jesus sustaining a knee injury in a recent training session.

This is expected to rule him out of the Cup tie, and he could return back to full fitness for the next league game at home.

If Arsenal win or lose today's encounter, they won't be back in action until January 20 where they host Crystal Palace .

Suppose the Gunners share the spoils against the Reds, there will be a replay which will cancel out the winter break.

The Gunners have a decent home record against Jurgen Klopp 's side and they beat them 3-2 at the Emirates last term.

The north London giants also picked up a hard-fought 1-1 draw versus the Merseyside outfit at Anfield earlier last month.
