Team News
Arsenal
Arteta made eight changes for his side's victory against Bodo/Glimt in midweek, with Zinchenko rested after missing Wednesday's training session as a precaution following his recent calf injury.

The Ukraine full-back was a surprise starter against Spurs last time out in the Premier League, and he should be fit enough to replace Kieran Tierney at left-back on Sunday.

Martinelli, Xhaka and Gabriel were the three players to retain their places in the starting XI and the trio will almost certainly start once again against Liverpool, with club captain Martin Odegaard set to return in the attacking midfield role despite Fabio Vieira adding to his tally from that position in midweek.

Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny are expected to remain sidelined with muscle injuries.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus

Liverpool
Liverpool, meanwhile, are expected to travel without midfielders Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arthur and Curtis Jones due to injury, although the latter is edging closer to a return after returning to training on Thursday.

Ibrahima Konate was named among the substitutes for the first time this season against Rangers after suffering a knee injury in pre-season, but Klopp is unlikely to make any changes to his back line, especially with Andy Robertson still likely to be at least a week away from returning from his own knee issue.

The German's main dilemma will be whether to revert to his usual 4-3-3 formation or stick with the 4-2-3-1 system that secured a win against Rangers on Tuesday, with the former likely to be preferred given Arsenal's slick possession game in midfield.

As such, Fabinho could replace Darwin Nunez, with Salah and Luis Diaz dovetailing either side of Diogo Jota, although Firmino does offer an alternative option given his excellent start to the season.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Jota, Diaz
Prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool
