Liverpool host their title rivals Arsenal at Anfield today as they look to maintain their winning run.

Liverpool team news:
In-form midfielder Emre Can is available today despite suffering a minor injury during the week. The 23-year-old is expected to start in midfield alongside Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson.
Jurgen Klopp will however be unable to call upon Philippe Coutinho. The Brazil international is sidelined with a back injury and has been closely linked with a move to Barcelona in recent weeks.
The German tactician received a major boost following the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold to first-team training. The 18-year-old was forced off during Liverpool’s win over Hoffenheim.
“Trent [Alexander-Arnold] had a little dead leg but was not too serious,” Klopp told reporters.
“Emre [Can] twisted a little bit but shouldn’t be that serious. Nothing happened yesterday, so it should be OK.”
Nathaniel Clyne and Adam Lallana are both ruled out for Sunday’s encounter with Arsenal.
