    FT: Arsenal (10) 0-2 Liverpool (Agg 0-2)! All over at the Emirates and Liverpool deservedly go through! Jota put Liverpool ahead in the first half and Klopp's men looked more dangerous in the second as well. Jota made it 0-2 in the 77th minute after the VAR overruled the offside flag and then Thomas saw red for Arsenal late on just 17 minutes after coming on. It will be Chelsea v Liverpool in the final. That's all from us, thanks for your company and see you again soon!

    TAA sends a ball forward to Jota, who controls with his chest and chips over Ramsdale who had come out to get the ball. It looks onside to me!
  • 76'
    Great chance for Robertson, but his shot goes across goal rather than towards it! Liverpool should've put this to bed by now.

    Double chance for Liverpool!! The corner comes in, Konate's header strikes the post and then Ramsdale denies Henderson on the rebound!! I think Henderson was offside though.
  • 58'
    Liverpool win a corner, but Tierney is down after being caught in the face by his own GK. The Scot is ok to continue though.

    Liverpool HT sub: Konate on for Matip.

    The players come out here at the Emirates to a great atmosphere!
  • PRVW
    Liverpool make two alterations from the easy 3-0 win over Brentford on Sunday. Kelleher comes in for Alisson in goal while 17 year-old Kaide Gordon starts ahead of the Ox. Minamino started in the first game, but there's no place for him in the XI.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal make three changes from the first leg. Tomiyasu replaces the injured Cedric in defence while Odegaard returns from COVID and Smith-Rowe is also back in the XI. Nketiah and the suspended Xhaka drop out.
  • PRVW
    It was 0-0 in the first leg and the away goals rule does not apply so whoever wins tonight goes through. We'll have ET and penalties if needed.
  • PRVW
    It's 4 degrees and dry in North London for this one.
  • PRVW
    Martin Atkinson is the referee while Darren England is the VAR.
  • PRVW
    Liverpool XI: Kelleher (GK); Robertson, VVD, Matip, TAA; Jones, Fabinho, Henderson; Jota, Firmino and Gordon.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal XI: Ramsdale (GK); Tierney, Gabriel, White, Tomiyasu; Smith-Rowe, Odegaard, Lokonga, Saka; Martinelli and Lacazette.
