Arsenal arrive second with seven league wins but without Saka and Saliba, against a Liverpool side that has won five straight and not lost any of the last four league meetings.

The likeliest outcome is a Liverpool win or draw, and at 1.57 that is fairly priced rather than generous. The prices carrying a small edge are both on Liverpool details: the home side to score at 1.30 and to take four or more corners at 1.38.

Context

Confirmed absences remove a first-choice Arsenal attacker and defender, while Liverpool carry late fitness calls in midfield and attack, so team selection genuinely shapes how the game is played. The long Anfield run without an Arsenal league win adds historical weight but is background rather than a current playing edge.

The 30 October preview places W. Saliba among Arsenal's absentees for this fixture. His unavailability removes a named defensive option before an away match at Anfield. The available evidence identifies the injury but does not establish Arsenal's replacement or exact defensive structure. It is therefore a confirmed selection absence rather than a claim about the final XI.
- The 30 October match preview listed W. Saliba among Arsenal's injured absentees.
- A 30 October team-news update described him as continuing his recovery from a back injury.

B. Saka was listed as unavailable for Arsenal's 1 November trip to Liverpool in the 30 October preview. That removes a named attacking option for this specific away fixture. The current evidence does not identify the player who will replace him or Arsenal's intended shape. The development is material as an absence, without extending to a tactical prediction.
- The 30 October match preview listed B. Saka as unavailable through injury.
- A 30 October team-news update identified a thigh or quad injury as keeping him out.

D. Szoboszlai entered the final preparation period with a hamstring concern, and he was absent from the Friday outdoor training images. Liverpool's pre-match briefing nevertheless left a route to involvement after further assessment. His status matters because it can affect the available midfield group for Arsenal's visit. The evidence does not settle whether he will make the matchday squad.
- The 30 October match preview listed D. Szoboszlai among Liverpool's injured absentees.
- Liverpool's pre-match briefing left open the possibility of his involvement after further fitness assessment.
- A 30 October training update did not picture him in Liverpool's outdoor session.

Víctor Muñoz was listed with a knee concern before Arsenal's visit and was not pictured in Friday's outdoor session. Liverpool's pre-match briefing still allowed for a possible return after final assessment. This creates a current availability question in the home attacking group. No source establishes a projected role or a replacement plan if he is unavailable.
- The 30 October match preview listed Víctor Muñoz as injured for Arsenal's visit.

- A 30 October training update did not picture him in Liverpool's outdoor session.
