Arsenal have small advantage over Liverpool which nobody is talking about

Jake Stokes writes that Arsenal hold a key preparation advantage over Liverpool ahead of their Sunday clash, having an extra 24 hours to recover following mid-week Carabao Cup action. While Arsenal suffered a shock defeat to Fleetwood Town on Tuesday, Liverpool faced Chelsea on Wednesday, leaving Mikel Arteta's side with four days of rest compared to Liverpool's three.

The additional recovery time could prove vital for Arsenal as they manage several fitness concerns. Arteta revealed after Tuesday's match that Riccardo Calafiori, Noni Madueke, and Declan Rice are dealing with knocks or injuries, leaving their availability for the trip to Anfield uncertain ahead of Friday's press conference.
