Arsenal vs Liverpool team news
Arsenal are in the midst of an injury crisis, with Odegaard and Saka expected to miss out and both Calafiori and Timber considered huge doubts. William Saliba is suspended so will also sit out the game.
In their absence, Arteta has a few options. Thomas Partey could move to right-back, with either Ben White or Jakub Kiwior moving to centre-back, or even Myles Lewis-Skelly at left-back.
Liverpool have their own fitness concerns, with Diogo Jota missing the trip to face RB Leipzig during the week.
Arsenal vs Liverpool prediction
Arsenal will have wanted to face any other team this weekend given their injury and suspension issues. The Gunners looked out of ideas with 10 men against Bournemouth and their win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the week was uninspiring, so concerns will have raised ahead of the visit of Liverpool.
The Reds, missing key players of their own, look capable of beating anyone and Mohamed Salah should be set for a big game taking on whoever is fit down Arsenal’s left. If Salah is on song, as he has been all season, this should be a huge win for the Reds.
