Both Liverpool and Arsenal will hope to take charge of their Carabao Cup semi-final as they meet at Anfield.
The postponement of last week’s intended first leg at the Emirates Stadium means this fixture, going ahead as scheduled, is now the first 90 minutes of the two-legged tie to decide who reaches the final.
The second leg will now occur on Thursday 20 January, with Liverpool over a Covid outbreak scare driven by a number of “false postives”, according to Jurgen Klopp.
Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Thomas Partey are among the players away at the Africa Cup of Nations who will be unavailable to Klopp and Arsenal counterpart Mikel Arteta.
