Liverpool vs Arsenal - LIVE!

The second of the Carabao Cup’s semi-finals will belatedly get underway this evening as Liverpool host Arsenal in the first leg of their tie at Anfield.

The first leg was due to be played at the Emirates Stadium last week, but was postponed due to a number of positive Covid tests in the Liverpool camp, which Reds boss Jurgen Klopp subsequently claimed included “a lot of false-positives”.

That has been a cause of some frustration to Arsenal, who have their own availability and injury issues as they look to bounce back from the weekend’s dismal FA Cup third round exit at the hands of Nottingham Forest.

The winner of this two-legged tie (the second leg is set for next Thursday) will face Chelsea in the final at Wembley on February 27 after Thomas Tuchel’s side wrapped up a comfortable 3-0 aggregate victory over Tottenham last night.

56 mins: Anfield faithful in fine voice, trying to urge their side forward. Arsenal hanging in there, looking solid in their shape... so many bodies in central areas.

Alexander-Arnold goes over the top towards Minamino, but Ramsdale is out to claim.

Arteta and his coaching staff are super animated on the touchline. They are giving out loads of encouragement and urging the players on. Four of five of the coaches applaud Tierney after his run forward.

53 mins: Tierney flies forward to intercept a pass before it can get to Alexander-Arnold.

Worked out to Chambers on the right who swings a cross into the box. Nobody there, and it’s not a great ball anyway.

1642107234

50 mins: Good break from Arsenal after Van Dijk gets caught out. Saka drives into the box and works it onto his right-foot, but the shot is blocked.

Matip did well to force Saka outside, didn’t let him cut onside onto that left foot.

49 mins: He had a couple of promising bursts forward in the first-half, but that shot from Matip suggests that he should be focusing on laying the ball off rather than going for goal himself.

25 yards out, and it’s ballooned miles over the bar.

1642107056

47 mins: Tierney takes about 30 seconds before the throw-is eventually lobbed forward. He’ll get another chance to do the same.

Minamino then breaks away down Arsenal’s right, and he breezes past Chambers. Attempted cross has Ramsdale desperately back-peddling.... wasn’t far away from landing right in the top corner.

Back underway

Liverpool kick us off for the second half.

Another 45 minutes of attack vs defence!

Gunners increasingly stretched...
1642106531

No shots on target for either side in the first-half. Liverpool have had four efforts, Arsenal just the one.

80% possession for the hosts... you’d imagine that figure is only going to get bigger.

Another red for Xhaka...
