Arsenal and Liverpool face off in the delayed second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie, with a winner takes all situation after the first leg finished in a 0-0 draw.
Arsenal saw their Premier League fixture against Tottenham postponed at the weekend as a result of Covid-19, injuries and international duty limiting their ability to put out a team.
The first leg of this tie, meanwhile, had already been postponed earlier this month because of the positive Covid tests recorded in the Liverpool camp.
The winner here will face Chelsea in the final at Wembley on 27 February.

Arsenal vs Liverpool score prediction
To put it simply, Liverpool have had better preparation for this game than Arsenal.
The Gunners have players returning from injury and Covid-19, having had their last game postponed, and it doesn't paint a positive picture about what kind of condition they stand to be in.
Liverpool may be missing two of their best players but should have enough to win anyway.
Prediction: Arsenal 0-2 Liverpool
