Mikel Arteta has named an unchanged squad for the third Premier League game in a row as Arsenal head to Liverpool in a massive clash at the top of the table.
The Gunners travelled to Anfield hoping to win there for the first time since 2012, when Arteta was still playing.

Arsenal have some fitness issues, but not with the 11 players who played their last two league games.
Jurrien Timber (knee), Fabio Vieira (groin) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (calf) are out. Midfielder Jorginho was absent from Sunday’s win over Brighton due to a foot problem but is back on the bench at Anfield.
Thomas Partey has been out since October with a hamstring injury and is eager to get back to play during the holiday season, but today’s game comes too soon.
Arsenal are currently top of the Premier League and can increase their lead over Liverpool to four points if they win on Saturday.
Mohamed Elneny, who is recovering from a hamstring injury, is part of the team and is named among the substitutes.
“Thomas Partey is still finalising his rehabilitation,” Arteta said. “He hasn’t trained with the team yet. Mo Elneny will be joining us this afternoon to see what he thinks. Otherwise, there is no news. Jorginho still has a doubt. “
Arsenal are “in the best position” to sign in January despite Liverpool “willing to do anything crazy”
