Arsenal will take on Liverpool in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie, two weeks after the Emirates leg was postponed due to a COVID outbreak.

The Gunners were due to play at home first, but cases among the Liverpool squad saw the order flipped, handing Arsenal a slight advantage.

The reverse fixture at Anfield ended in a goalless stalemate. Liverpool dominated possession after Arsenal veteran Granit Xhaka was sent off after just 24 minutes, but the Gunners held firm.

Liverpool have waved goodbye to Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita as they embark on their Africa Cup of Nations campaigns and must negotiate this one without them.

Jurgen Klopp has tended to choose to deploy weakened teams throughout the rounds of the Carabao Cup though he opted for a strong XI in the first leg and can be expected to do similar here.

Our prediction: Arsenal v Liverpool

This is a close call and much depends on the line-ups fielded by both sides. Liverpool are without their key African stars, while Arsenal's COVID and injuries situation remains unclear.

They could field a near-strongest XI or they could opt for an array of youngsters. Either way, this promises to be an entertaining clash.

Arsenal are lacking midfield depth at the moment, which could see them sit deeper and attempt to make the game a cagey affair. Liverpool may be able to field a stronger XI here with a couple of match-winners like Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino able to make the difference.

Our prediction: Arsenal 0-1 Liverpool (8/1 at bet365).
