WATCH ARSENAL vs LIVERPOOL LIVE

The Gunners are dealing with some serious injury problems, particularly in defense, with the suspension of William Saliba being another major blow. Not to mention that Martin Odegaard is out and Bukayo Saka is also expected to miss out. Arsenal beat Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League during the week but lost at Bournemouth last weekend. This surprise defeat came after William Saliba’s early red card, with the Gunners causing their own problems and their squad reaching its limits.

PROVISIONED LINEUPS, TACTICAL ANALYSIS

Liverpool have a few injury problems but Arne Slot’s side look very relaxed and confident as they sit top of the table heading into this weekend. 11 wins out of 12 in all finishes at the start of the season will do that for you. Liverpool won at RB Leipzig in the Champions League and beat Chelsea last weekend to show they are serious about becoming title contenders this season. This trip to Arsenal is a litmus test to see if they are ready to challenge for the title and the pressure is on Slot’s side given the Gunners’ injury problems. What an opportunity this is for Liverpool.

Arsenal team news, focus

With left-back Riccardo Calafiori suffering an injury with 20 minutes left in midweek, full-backs Jurrien Timber and Takehiro Tomiyasu struggling and star centre-back William Saliba suspended, Arsenal have plenty of defensive problems. Left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko has also recovered from an injury and was substituted in front of him by youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly in the Champions League in midweek. Could the youngster start? Right-back Ben White was substituted at half-time in midweek but will certainly be in the starting line-up as he continues to struggle with form problems. If he is unavailable, Partey could be deployed at right-back, with Kai Havertz or Leandro Trossard operating deeper in central midfield and Gabriel Jesus up front. Jakub Kiwior will likely start at centre-back alongside Gabriel and this is a big game for the Polish centre-back. Captain Martin Odegaard is out and star player Bukayo Saka is likely out. Therefore, the pressure is on Declan Rice, Partey and Mikel Merino to use all their experience in midfield to take control of this game. Gabriel Martinelli and Raheem Sterling need big games on the wing and Gabriel will do his best to hold the defense together.

Liverpool team news, focus

Diogo Jota is missing after being eliminated against Chelsea, with Darwin Nunez set to start. Andy Robertson and Curtis Jones were rested for the win in Leipzig in midweek but are likely to return straight away. Luis Diaz could also start, but Cody Gakpo appears to be manning the left wing spot for now.

Arsenal vs Liverpool prediction

This feels like an opportunity too good to miss for Liverpool and Salah will likely have a field day against this makeshift Arsenal defense. It will be close, but it will be a clear win for Slot. Arsenal 1-2 Liverpool.
