Liverpool v Arsenal live: score, updates and line-ups

Full time at Anfield: Arsenal 1-0 Liverpool. Havertz's clinical finish from Rice's cross in the 16th minute proved decisive, and despite Liverpool dominating possession and racking up 17 shots to Arsenal's 10, they never managed to hit the target. Arsenal made their three shots on target count for the win, with Raya picking up a late booking in a six minutes of stoppage time that also saw a flurry of yellow cards across both sides. A disciplined defensive display from Arsenal, built on that early goal, was enough to see off a persistent but toothless Liverpool.

The match has now finished: Liverpool pushed hard until the very end but still couldn't force a shot on target, with Ngumoha and Muñoz both seeing efforts blocked deep into stoppage time. Raya picked up a late yellow as Arsenal saw things out comfortably enough despite being second best for possession and shots throughout, Havertz's first-half finish proving enough to make it 0-1 and secure the win at Anfield.

The closing stages have been scrappy and stop-start, dominated by cards and a flurry of substitutions rather than clear openings. Araujo had a shot blocked and Mac Allister picked up a booking before giving away a handball, while Timber was also cautioned, but with both benches now well used Arsenal's 0-1 lead has barely been threatened in this spell, still the only side with a shot on target.

Arsenal have carried the greater threat in this spell, with Tzolis forcing a save out of Alisson from Madueke's cross and Timber also having a shot blocked, pushing the visitors' shots on target up to three. Liverpool have kept probing too, Van Dijk seeing a strike charged down, but Lewis-Skelly's booking for a foul added to the growing card count as the hosts still search for a shot on target to match their territorial edge. Arsenal's 0-1 lead holds as the game heads into its final stages.

Liverpool have kept plugging away without quite breaking Arsenal down, Wirtz seeing another effort blocked and Madueke doing likewise at the other end as both sides have had attempts snuffed out. The hosts still lead the shot count 11-7 and have made all six changes-worthy pressure count for little, with Arsenal's two shots on target still the only ones to have tested the keepers. Kerkez became the latest to be booked after fouling Madueke, and with fresh legs now on for both sides - Szoboszlai, Lewis-Skelly and Ngumoha all introduced - Arsenal's 0-1 lead remains intact approaching the final third of the game.

Liverpool have continued to dominate possession and territory without finding the breakthrough. Wirtz had a shot blocked and Isak fired wide after being set up by Kerkez, while Guimarães also sprayed one off target for Arsenal on the counter. Madueke's booking for a foul on Barcola was the other notable moment, but Arsenal's 0-1 lead stands firm with the hosts still searching for that elusive shot on target.

The second half has started cagily with little addition to the stats so far. Timber won another free-kick for Arsenal before Wirtz gave one away himself, but otherwise it's been a quiet opening to the period with Liverpool still searching for the shot on target that might bring them level, Arsenal holding onto their 0-1 lead.

Liverpool have continued to press for an equaliser before the break, with Isak firing narrowly wide and Wirtz crashing a free-kick against the bar after winning it himself. Mac Allister also nodded over from a Kerkez cross, and the hosts now lead the shot count 8-5, though Arsenal still hold the edge in shots on target heading into added time at 0-1.

Liverpool have responded well since going behind, turning the game around territorially with 57% possession and a string of corners. Van Dijk headed over from one set-piece and Mac Allister has twice tested David Raya, the latest effort well saved, while Kerkez also fired off target on a quick break. Arsenal have been pushed back but still lead through Havertz's early finish, with the hosts now shading the shot count 5-4 as they search for a leveller.

Arsenal have continued to dictate the game since Havertz's opener, with Rice forcing a save and Guimarães also going close as the visitors pushed for a second. Liverpool have won a couple of corners of their own through Wirtz's persistence down the left but are still without a shot on goal, leaving Arsenal firmly on top at Anfield.

Arsenal take the lead at Anfield! Havertz finishes left-footed from the six-yard box to convert a low left-side shot, and the visitors are now fully in control, dominating possession while Liverpool still haven't managed a shot of their own.

Arsenal have had the better of the early exchanges at Anfield, dominating possession and forcing a corner through Jacquet's concession. Havertz was flagged offside as the visitors probed for an opening, while Liverpool have yet to register a shot and are still finding their footing in this one. Still goalless after ten minutes, with Arsenal shading the opening period.
