Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Liverpool versus Arsenal. These two met here at Anfield just three days ago, with the hosts emphatic 3-1 winners. Funny things can happen in the Carabao Cup though and changes are expected, so there could be a different story tonight - and perhaps a goal-filled one, given the clubs played out a 5-5 draw in this competition a season ago. Team news is on the way...

54'

A sign of goals to come?

53'

Milner's corner is knocked back into the danger area by Grujic and flicked goalwards by Van Dijk, but Leno reacts quickly to save low and to his right.

51'

Xhaka pulls back Grujic, stopping him from breaking, and is booked as a consequence.

Yellow card

G. Xhaka

Arsenal

49'

Pepe fashions some room to cross, but the ball he delivers is far too close to Adrian.

48'

Grujic rises highest at a Wilson free kick, but his looping header goes over.

46'

The second half begins. No changes for either side, so Klopp no feeling comfortable enough to remove Van Dijk.

45+2'

HT: Liverpool 0-0 Arsenal. Not much to report, beyond that excitement at the end of the half. Arsenal have been caught out by Liverpool's press a couple of times and are playing a dangerous game, but will feel they still have a decent chance with the score level.

45'

Liverpool should be ahead! A deep cross is met by Jota at the back post, Leno makes a Hollywood save and sends the ball in the direction of Minamino, but - adjusting to volley - the Japanese cannot move his feet quick enough and rattles the crossbar.

45'

Milner clips in the free kick, Gabriel heads up and Saka then hacks away.

44'

Ceballos loses possession from an Arsenal throw-in and hauls down Jota right on the edge of the box. Very nearly a penalty.

42'

Saka gets on the end of a long ball from Ceballos, but is offside. Adrian saved his shot anyway.

40'

Pepe has been particularly anonymous since getting in behind the Liverpool defence once early on.

38'

Liverpool have a sustained spell of possession on the edge of the Arsenal box but can't find much space. Jones makes some, darting towards the byline on the left, but his cross - a rabona cross, no less - is blocked.

35'

Jones has a go from range, which Leno saves with ease.

34'

Arsenal give the ball away in a bad area, trying to play out from the back, but Jota and his colleagues are not quite on the save wavelength and the chance is squandered.

31'

This, especially down N. Williams' flank, looks Arsenal's best option thus far.

29'

Quite a nothing game so far. Arsenal looking to frustrate Liverpool.

25'

Arsenal get in down the left again, this time through Saka, but his cross is cleared.

23'

With a chance to send a free kick into the Liverpool box, Ceballos tries something clever but gets it wrong.

21'

Milner uses all his experience to get to a flick-on ahead of Willock, who had a run on him.

17'

A well-worked Arsenal set piece appears to leave Cedric in position to cross, but there was a foul somewhere in the middle.
