Liverpool vs Arsenal LIVE: The Reds FINALLY face the Gunners in delayed Carabao Cup semi-final after Covid-19 false positive left Jurgen Klopp unable to field a side for the original fixture

Liverpool will finally play their first leg semi-final Carabao Cup tie against Arsenal on Thursday after Covid-19 ravaged the Reds squad leaving them unable to field a team for the original fixture.

Jurgen Klopp has since revealed that only Trent Alexander-Arnold had tested positive amid multiple false positives that saw the Arsenal game called off and the Liverpool boss should welcome back several senior players to his side.

The match at Anfield was supposed to be the second-leg but Liverpool forfeited the right to play the final game at home after the Covid postponement.
