Liverpool 0-0 Arsenal: Hosts frustrated by 10-man Gunners in their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg
Takumi Minamino missed a glorious chance for Liverpool in the 90th minuteafter a Covid outbreak in their squad saw the planned first meeting in north London postponed until 20 January.
Both sides have lost key players to the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations but it was the absence of top scorer Mohamed Salah and fellow forward Sadio Mane which proved most noticeable as Liverpool struggled to break Arsenal down. On a challenging night for the visitors, Martin Odegaard missed out following a positive Covid test and Xhaka's dismissal - in addition to Thomas Partey's Afcon participation - has compounded Arteta's midfield issue ahead of Sunday's north London derby at Tottenham.
But the Arsenal goalkeeper's only moments of real concern arrived in the final moments, as Minamino struck over after Ramsdale failed to claim the ball - while the excellent Ben White was back to clear Neco Williams' attempt in stoppage time.
