- 90'+4'That brings an end to our coverage of the EFL Cup fourth-round clash between Liverpool and Arsenal at Anfield. Thank you very much for joining us. Goodbye!
- 90'+4'Liverpool will be looking to bounce back and continue their impressive league form against Aston Villa next time out in the Premier League. Arsenal, on the other hand, host Sheffield United in their upcoming top-flight fixture as they seek to make it back-to-back wins in all competitions.
- 90'+4'Following a competitive fourth-round tie, Arsenal progress to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup after beating Liverpool on penalties. The hosts had the better of the chances in normal time, with Minamino striking the bar in the first half and Leno denying Jota just after the half-hour mark, but the visitors hung on for a draw in normal time. After both Origi and Wilson missed their spot-kicks, Willock stepped up to fire Arteta’s side into the next round.
- 90'+4'FULL TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-0 ARSENAL – The Gunners win 5-4 on penalties.
- 90'+4'MISS! Wilson’s effort into the bottom-right corner is palmed away by Leno. Advantage Arsenal. 4-4.
- 90'+4'ARSENAL HAVE DONE IT! Adrian guesses correctly, but Willock’s penalty has enough power to cannon off of the Liverpool goalkeeper’s legs and into the back of the net. 5-4.
- 90'+4'GOAL! Pepe needed to score and did score as he sends Adrian the wrong way to take this to sudden death. 4-4.
- 90'+4'GOAL! The Reds are back in front as Jones perfectly places his spot-kick in the bottom-left corner. Leno went the right way. 4-3.
- 90'+4'GOAL! Maitland-Niles makes no mistake from the spot, coolly slotting into the bottom-right corner. 3-3.
- 90'+4'MISS! Origi misses the chance to extend Liverpool’s lead as he fires towards the same corner as Elneny and, like Adrian, Leno guesses correctly. 3-2.
- 90'+4'MISS! Elneny looks to find the bottom-left corner, but Adrian goes the right way and gets a strong hand to it! 3-2.
- 90'+4'GOAL! Minamino emphatically fires his spot-kick down the middle of the goal and into the top of the net. 3-2.
- 90'+4'GOAL! Cedric keeps his cool and gets the visitors back on level terms after firing into the top-right corner. Adrian went the right way but could not get a fingertip to it. 2-2.
- 90'+4'GOAL! Wijnaldum puts Liverpool back in front with a well-placed penalty into the roof of the net. 2-1.
- 90'+4'GOAL! Lacazette draws Arsenal level as he finds the bottom-left corner. 1-1.
- 90'+4'GOAL! Milner gives Liverpool the lead as he slots the ball into the bottom-right corner. 1-0.
- 90'+4'Milner will take the first penalty for Liverpool.
- 90'+4'After an end-to-end contest, the fourth-round tie between Liverpool and Arsenal ends goalless. Minamino hit the bar in the closing stages of the first half as the hosts went closest to opening the scoring, before a number of vital saves from Leno kept the Gunners in the match after the restart. This one will be decided on penalties.
- 90'+4'FULL TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-0 ARSENAL – Penalties to come...
- 90'+2'Cedric is shown a yellow card for dissent after appealing for a handball in the box against Milner.
- 90'There will be three added minutes at the end of this match.
- 88'Maitland-Niles handles the ball midway inside his own half and Liverpool are awarded a free-kick. Milner’s deep delivery is turned behind by Maitland-Niles for a corner after evading everyone in a red shirt. The resulting set-piece comes to nothing.
- 86'The Gunners opt to make their last substitution of the match as Saka comes off the field for Maitland-Niles. The full-back had gone down with cramp prior to the change.
- 85'Following some quick play from Klopp’s side, the ball breaks to Neco Williams on the edge of the Arsenal box. The full-back goes for goal, and his effort is straight at Leno.
- 84'OPPORTUNITY! After the Reds failed to clear their lines, Pepe is able to take the ball down in the hosts’ penalty area. On his right foot, however, the winger lashes a quickly-taken strike wide of Adrian’s near post.
- 82'Arteta calls on Lacazette for the closing stages of the game, with the Frenchman coming on to replace Nketiah.
- 81'After some neat link-up play from the hosts, Saka is forced to turn the ball behind for a corner. Wilson's delivery evades everyone in the middle and Holding nods it away for a throw-in down the far side of the pitch.
- 79'Wijnaldum attempts to clip a ball down the left for the overlapping Milner. His pass, however, is overhit and runs out for a goal-kick.
- 77'Nketiah gets on the end of Willock’s delivery from the right, but his flicked header from the middle of the hosts’ box sails wide to the left of Adrian’s goal.
- 75'The home side make their final change of the match with Wijnaldum entering the fray in place of Jota. It remains 0-0.
- 75'Wilson receives a yellow card after cynically bringing down Pepe as the winger looked to break on the halfway line.
- 73'Grujic finds some space on the edge of the visitors’ box before seeing his shot blocked out for a throw-in by Gabriel.
- 72'Origi has scored nine goals in his last seven starts in the EFL Cup, including a brace against Arsenal in last season’s fourth round. Will he be the player to find the breakthrough?
- 70'GLORIOUS CHANCE! The resulting corner is taken short before Pepe eventually whips the ball into the area. Holding finds a yard of space in the centre of the box before steering his close-range header straight at Adrian. The defender should have found the net there.
- 69'BRILLIANT DEFENDING! Cedric whips a well-weighted cross into the Liverpool box from the right flank. Saka looks to take the ball down in space at the far post until Neco Williams gets back to make a vital interception to deny a goal-scoring opportunity.
- 68'Arteta opts to make his first substitution of the game as Ceballos is replaced by Elneny.
- 67'Willock looked to run off of Gomez and in behind the Liverpool defence following a pass from Cedric, but the midfielder just made his run a fraction too early and is flagged for offside.
- 65'Wilson tees the ball up for Wilson, who sees his long-range shot deflect into the arms of Leno off of Gabriel.
- 64'ANOTHER SAVE! The resulting corner is swung into the box by Wilson, and Grujic’s lofted header is clawed away by Leno when it looked destined for the top-right corner.
- 63'GLORIOUS CHANCE! A long, searching ball from deep picks out Jota on the edge of the Arsenal box. The winger’s first touch takes him beyond Gabriel before Leno gets across to his right to keep out Jota’s well-struck shot.
- 61'It is a double change for the hosts as Gomez comes on to replace Van Dijk.
- 61'Klopp makes his first alteration of the match as Salah makes way for Origi. There are 29 minutes of normal time left to play.
- 60'GOOD STOP! Grujic’s power drive from range is palmed away at his near post by Leno.
- 59'Salah tries to make something happen by himself in taking on two Arsenal defenders in the visitors' box. The Egyptian does well initially before being dispossessed by Holding.
- 57'HEADED WIDE! Following a corner, Milner floats the ball back into the Arsenal box and Grujic nods it wide of the near post from close range.
- 56'CLOSE! Jota picks up the ball in space down the left-hand side of the field and cuts in onto his right foot. The Portuguese winger gets to the edge of the area before unleashing a strike which deflects out for a corner off Holding.
- 55'Liverpool looked to be in the ascendancy until Jones overhit a pass intended for Neco Williams down the right flank. Goal-kick to the visitors.
- 54'JUST WIDE! Pepe tries his luck from the edge of the box, but his left-footed effort just fizzes wide to the right of Adrian’s goal.
- 53'SMART SAVE! Milner sends in an out-swinging corner from the right which finds Grujic at the far post. His knockdown lands to Van Dijk in the middle of the area, but the Dutchman sees his close-range effort clawed away by the Arsenal goalkeeper down low to his right.
- 51'Xhaka is the latest player to go into the book after pulling back Grujic when the hosts looked to launch a quick counter.
- 49'Jota wins another free-kick early in the second half after being caught from behind by Xhaka just inside the Liverpool half.
- 45'+2'The Reds have struggled to find their rhythm thus far and Klopp will be hoping for more creativity from his side after the restart. Salah was unable to make an impact in the opening 45 minutes as Liverpool failed to find a way through Arsenal’s resolute defensive unit. The Gunners, on the other hand, will be pleased with their first-half display. Saka and Pepe have looked a threat on the break, and that option always looks to be there with the hosts playing a high line.
- 45'+2'After an even opening first half, there is nothing to separate Liverpool and Arsenal at the break. The visitors had an early chance to open the scoring on seven minutes, but Nketiah failed to get the ball under control at the far post when one-on-one with Adrian. Klopp’s side had their best opportunity to break the deadlock two minutes before half-time, although Jota could not beat Leno with a close-range header before Minamino fired the rebound against the bar.
- 47'OVER! Holding fouls Jota down the left-hand side of the field and the Reds are awarded a free-kick in a dangerous position. Wilson’s out-swinging delivery finds Grujic in the centre of box, who rises highest to head the ball over the bar.
- 45'+2'HALF TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-0 ARSENAL
- 46'We are back underway! Friend, the referee, blows his whistle and Liverpool get the second half kicked off.
- 45'There will two added minutes at the end of this half.
- 44'PENALTY? Jota goes down under pressure from Cedric right on the edge of the Arsenal area. The Liverpool players are appealing for a penalty, but the referee awards a free-kick as the initial challenge started outside the box.
- 43'Thus far, Jones’ shot in the 35th minute has been the only effort on target in the match.
- 41'Ceballos tries his luck from range, but his right-footed drive sails wide of Adrian’s near post.
- 39'Jota is penalised by the referee for a handball deep inside the visitors’ half. Free-kick to Arsenal.
- 37'The hosts are enjoying a good spell of possession at present. Jones creates a yard of space down the left-hand side of the Arsenal box, although his rabona cross is calmly nodded to safety by Holding.
- 35'DECENT STRIKE! Arsenal lose the ball on the edge of their own box and the hosts work the play to Jones. The midfielder opens up the space before firing a left-footed strike straight at Leno.
- 33'Pepe goes down under pressure from Minamino on the halfway line and the Gunners are awarded another free-kick. Neither side have been able to find their rhythm as of yet.
- 31'Holding looks to win the ball back high up the field for Arsenal, but the referee deems the defender to have fouled Wilson just inside the Reds’ half.
- 29'Nketiah catches Wilson with a late tackle midway inside the Arsenal half. The Welshman’s delivery evades Van Dijk in the middle before being turned away from a throw-in by Willock.
- 27'Liverpool have enjoyed more of the possession thus far in the match with 56 per cent.
- 25'Saka gets away down the left flank and steers a dangerous cross into the Liverpool box. Nketiah looks to get on the end of it, but Rhys Williams reads the situation well to get across and clear the danger.
- 23'The game has got a little scrappy in the last few minutes. Willock cleverly uses his body to win a free-kick along the right from Grujic. Ceballos tries to take it quickly, but Salah was there on the edge of the box to cut it out.
- 21'Jones is too eager in seeking to win the ball back and impedes Saka from behind a few yards inside the hosts’ half. Free-kick to Arsenal.
- 19'Pepe picks out Saka with a throughball beyond the Liverpool defence, although the flag was up for offside against the Englishman.
- 17'The Gunners take the free-kick quickly with Cedric being picked out with a lofted ball down the right flank. Grujic, however, is fouled in the box and Liverpool are awarded a free-kick of their own.
- 15'Minamino is shown the first yellow card of the match after sliding in late on Saka during an Arsenal counter. He can have no complaints with that decision.
- 14'Minamino catches Xhaka and the away side win a free-kick deep inside their own half.
- 13'OPPORTUNITY! The follow-up corner is initially cleared by Arsenal before Jota picks the ball up in space down the left flank. The new arrival picks out Grujic in the centre of the box, but the Serbian’s first-time shot goes well wide of the near post.
- 11'OVER! Williams wins a corner to the right off Saka. The resulting delivery finds Grujic at the near post, and his flick-on deflects just over for another set-piece.
- 9'Cedric tries his luck from the right-hand side of the Liverpool box, although his effort sails over the top of Adrian’s goal.
- 7'CHANCE! A lofted pass beyond the Liverpool defence from Ceballos finds Pepe down the left flank. The winger bursts into the space before laying it off Willock in the centre of the box, who tees up Nketiah to his right. The striker cannot get the ball under control despite being in space, and Adrian comes out to deny the Englishman.
- 5'Cedric whips an inviting cross into the Liverpool box from the right flank, but Rhys Williams was well positioned to nod the ball to safety.
- 3'The Reds are enjoying the bulk of the early possession as they look to feel their way into the tie. Arsenal, however, win a free-kick down the left-hand after Neco Williams handled the ball.
- 1'Kick off! The referee, Kevin Friend, blows his whistle and Arsenal get the game underway.
- -The teams are out, and kick-off will soon be upon us here at Anfield.
- -This is the second consecutive season that Liverpool and Arsenal will meet in the EFL Cup fourth round. The sides played out a 5-5 draw last season, with the Reds winning 5-4 on penalties.
- -Coming into this clash, the Premier League champions will be looking to continue their early-season form having extended their unbeaten start to four games following their 3-1 league victory over the Gunners. The Reds have been ruthless in front of goal thus far this campaign, scoring 16 goals across all competitions. Arsenal, on the other hand, are yet to concede a goal in the EFL Cup and will be hopeful of frustrating Klopp’s side in their efforts to progress. In this competition, the Gunners have won 14 of their last 17 fourth-round ties.
- -Jurgen Klopp makes nine changes from the side that beat Arsenal last time out in the Premier League. Into the team come Adrian, Neco Williams, Rhys Williams, Milner, Grujic, Jones, Wilson, Minamino and Jota, in place of Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Robertson, Fabinho, Naby Keita, Wijnaldum, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. The Reds’ new signing from Wolves, Jota, makes his first start. Mikel Arteta’s side is also much-changed from the recent meeting between these two teams. Luiz, Tierney, Hector Bellerin, Elneny, Maitland-Niles, Willian, Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubamayang drop out of the team for Cedric, Gabriel, Kolasinac, Ceballos, Willock, Pepe, Saka and Nketiah.
- -ARSENAL SUBS: Runar Alex Runarsson, David Luiz, Kieran Tierney, Mohamed Elneny, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Reiss Nelson, Alexandre Lacazette.
