Olivier Giroud: Set for 100th Premier League appearance for Arsenal

Arsenal have lost only one of their last seven Premier League games against Liverpool going into Monday night's clash at Etihad Stadium.

Arsenal have no fresh injury worries but remain without Jack Wilshere (ankle), Danny Welbeck (knee) and Tomas Rosicky (knee).

Liverpool, meanwhile, should have Jordan Henderson available after scans showed he had not broken a bone in his foot, but Joe Allen (hamstring) may remain on the sidelines alongside Daniel Sturridge (hip) and Jon Flanagan (knee).

Kick off at Emirates Stadium on Monday is at 8pm.

Martin Skrtel has scored three goals in his last two Premier League games against Arsenal - only against Man City has he scored as many PL goals (3).

Liverpool v Arsenal has seen more hat-tricks than any other fixture in Premier League history (5).

Michael Oliver will take charge of this match after refereeing two of the last three meetings between the clubs. He's officiated 11 Premier League games involving Arsenal, with the Gunners winning just two and losing five.

Liverpool have won each of their last four Premier League games on a Monday, keeping a clean sheet in the last three.

Olivier Giroud's next Premier League appearance will be his 100th. He's scored 42 goals in 99 PL apps for Arsenal - only Thierry Henry (59), Ian Wright (56) and Emmanuel Adebayor (44) scored more in their first 100 PL apps for the club.

After the opening two games, Arsenal have attempted the most crosses (49, excl. corners) and Liverpool have made the fewest (14, excluding corners).

Liverpool have only allowed their opponents three shots on target in their two Premier League games in 2015-16 so far, fewer than any other side.
