Arsenal vs Liverpool LIVE: FA Cup result and final score as Luis Diaz goal wraps up away win

Liverpool go to their bench. Ryan Gravenberch is on for Alexis Mac Allister and Diogo Jota relieves Cody Gakpo, who it hasn’t quite happened for.

Bukayo Saka can’t hook home! Beautifully worked by Arsenal, everything suggesting that Odegaard will swing it in but the midfielder instead playing a cute ball through for Kai Havertz. Havertz lifts to Saka, but the height is awkward for the left-footer, and he can’t direct his effort on goal. Another chance missed for the hosts.

It’s fully opening up now. Darwin Nunez has another chance but can’t get the ball by the Arsenal defender standing up to him, and Liverpool then foul Arsenal as the hosts make a quick transition into attack. What might Martin Odegaard conjure?

Diaz is forced into some defensive work, and doesn’t quite get it right - a shove in the back and an Arsenal free kick.

Reiss Nelson drills it in low, with Liverpool’s defence suitably stodgy.

This forward remodelling seems to have worked for Liverpool. Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz are threatenig down either flank, a long diagonal freeing the former and allowing him to drive at Ben White. He fizzes an effort past Aaron Ramsdale’s far post, Nunez throwing his hands to his head and curling his lips - close!

No drop in the intensity of an up-tempo contest in this second half. Liverpool come forward at speed, Harvey Elliott bisecting a couple of retreating Arsenal defenders to give Luis Diaz a ball to sprint on to. Diaz looks for Darwin Nunez at the far post but can’t get it through a couple of Arsenal legs, and his subsequent efforts to create an opportunity are similarly snuffed out.

Superb recovery work from Joe Gomez. Bukayo Saka cleverly darts back into his own half to ensure he is onside when he then surges away from Gomez on to a long floated pass. Saka has the run on the Liverpool left back but Gomez’s recovery speed is sufficient to force Saka to turn, and the versatile defender blocks his some-time England colleague’s eventual effort.

It looks like Liverpool have reshuffled a little, with Cody Gakpo taking up a central role and Darwin Nunez pushed out to the left. Harvey Elliott is in a deeper position - can the visitors get the youngster on the ball more?

Jurgen Klopp seems to sigh as he re-takes his place in the Liverpool dug out, covering his face with a snood as he feels the chill. Liverpool will be very pleased that it is still goalless - they don’t have many options on the bench, but Arsenal’s wastefulness means they are very much in the game.

Back underway.

No goals, but plenty of action at the Emirates Stadium in a jaunty half that flew by. Arsenal have been excellent, but Mikel Arteta’s men have encountered a familiar failing in front of goal. Martin Odegaard hit the crossbar while both Kai Havertz and Reiss Nelson have had a couple of excellent opportunities, with Alisson and his defence just about managing to keep the hosts at bay.

Liverpool have threatened at times, too, particularly through Trent Alexander-Arnold, who inspected Aaron Ramsdale’s woodwork just before half time. You’d think there will be goals in this - might Arsenal live to rue another 45 minutes of profligacy?
