Fresh from their Premier League encounter at Anfield, Liverpool and Arsenal meet once again at the feted venue for an EFL Cup clash. The fourth round of the competition promises a quarter-final spot to the winners of each tie. The aforementioned league duel between Liverpool and Arsenal saw the home side come from behind to claim a 3-1 win. Although the opener that they conceded was, to use a term Roy Keane likes, 'sloppy', Liverpool were assured thereafter and could have won by a wider margin. Defeat for Arsenal brought an end to their perfect start to the season as they had collected two league wins and victories in the EFL Cup and Community Shield prior to that match. Liverpool's only defeat came in that Community Shield game, falling to defeat in a penalty shoot-out. Since then, they have been largely brilliant with a couple of defensive howlers aside.

Liverpool got through the third round of the EFL Cup with a 7-2 win at Lincoln. It means that they have scored 15 goals in their five competitive games this season. Arsenal made it through a considerably tougher test in the third round, winning 2-0 at Leicester. If this game is anything like last season's EFL Cup game between these sides, we're in for a treat. On that occasion, Liverpool progressed on penalties following a 5-5 draw. Goals are common in this fixture. Both teams have scored in their last eight meetings. 14 of the previous 17 matches featured at least three goals. Each side will feature a second-string line-up but that won't stop the goals from flowing. Back Liverpool - who have not lost a home domestic match since 2018 - to win and both teams to score.
