Arsenal v Liverpool team news
Arsenal: Gabriel Martinelli, Callum Chambers and Shkodran Mustafi are all out injured, while goalkeeper Bernd Leno is likely to miss the game.
New defensive recruit William Saliba could get a run-out, while boss Mikel Arteta could also field ex-Chelsea forward Willian.
Liverpool: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has a knee injury and defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is another fitness worry.
Jordan Henderson and Joel Matip miss the game and Liverpool will assess centre-back Virgil van Dijk. Boss Jurgen Klopp will not want any more injuries, so could rest some of his top stars.
Our prediction: Arsenal v Liverpool
Liverpool have had just a few weeks to enjoy their reign as Premier League champions and will look to go again with a statement win over Arsenal here.
But the Gunners are well versed in winning trophies at Wembley - whether fans are there or not - and are keen to maintain their trajectory under boss Arteta.
This game could offer plenty of chances but don’t expect either team to go all-out for victory. It could be decided by a single goal early on.
Our prediction: Arsenal 0-1 Liverpool
