The visitors kick us off and we are under way at Anfield!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Arsenal.
The two teams make their way onto the pitch ahead of this huge game.
The visitors are the team chasing the title, with closest challengers Manchester City closing the Gunners’ lead at the summit to just five points with a dominant performance in their 4-1 win at Southampton on Saturday. This is an unhappy hunting ground for Arsenal, having not taken three points away from Anfield since the 2012-13 season, when now-manager Mikel Arteta was starting in midfield.
A massive game in the title race late in the season featuring Liverpool usually means the Reds are one of the teams with glory in their sights. However, a hugely below-par campaign means they are scrapping just to qualify for European football, having won only 12 of their 28 Premier League games so far, while they are out of all the cup competitions. They sit eighth, on the same points as Brentford in ninth, and are 13 points off the Champions League places.
SUBS: Thiago, Darwin Nunez, Roberto Firmino, Joe Gomez, Caoimhin Kelleher, James Milner, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Joel Matip, Harvey Elliott.
LIVERPOOL (4-3-3): Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson; Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Curtis Jones; Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota.
ARSENAL (4-3-3): Aaron Ramsdale; Ben White, Rob Holding, Gabriel Magalhaes, Oleksandr Zinchenko; Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka; Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli.
SUBS: Reuell Walters, Kieran Tierney, Reiss Nelson, Emile Smith Rowe, Matt Turner, Fabio Vieira, Jorginho, Jakub Kiwior, Leandro Trossard.
Salah's goal and Liverpool's strong finish has set this game up for a very intriguing second 45 minutes. Can the Gunners hold on for what would be three crucial points in the title race?
Thanks for joining us for live coverage of the 2-2 Premier League draw between Liverpool and Arsenal at Anfield. Goodbye!
Arteta's men cling on for a draw that could be massive in their bid to win their first title in 19 years. They extend their lead to six points, but City have a game in hand and the Gunners still have to go to the Etihad Stadium, with that vital encounter set to be played on April 26. For Liverpool, they move onto 44 points, though they are still three points off the Europa League places.
