Liverpool will hand Conor Bradley another chance at right-back as Trent Alexander-Arnold continues his farewell stretch from the bench. Joe Gomez (hamstring) and Tyler Morton (shoulder) are the only notable absentees, leaving Slot otherwise with a full squad. Virgil van Dijk, set for his 300th Premier League appearance, marshals a back line aiming for an eighth straight home league win.

Arsenal, meanwhile, regain some key names with Martin Ødegaard, Jurrien Timber, and Riccardo Calafiori fit enough to feature, though long-term injuries to Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Magalhães, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Kai Havertz still sting. Youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly could retain his place on the left after a difficult night in Paris.

Arsenal’s winless run at Anfield stretches back to 2012, and their current slump – three straight defeats in all competitions – hardly inspires confidence. Liverpool, though already champions, remain formidable at home and are expected to field a stronger side than in last week’s Chelsea defeat. With the crowd behind them and attacking firepower to spare, the Reds should edge it.

Prediction: Liverpool 2–1 Arsenal
