Arsenal will welcome Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday evening as they look to keep their excellent form going in the Premier League. The Gunners have just lost one match in the league so far and would fancy their chances of picking up a good result versus the Reds this weekend.
Mikel Arteta could set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to name a strong first XI for this game. We can once again expect to see Gabriel Jesus spearhead Arsenal’s attack up top while Eddie Nketiah waits for his chance to shine as an impact substitute off the bench.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Liverpool
Defence
Aaron Ramsdale will function in between the sticks for the Gunners as he looks to keep a clean sheet in front of the home fans. William Saliba will resume his defensive partnership with Gabriel at the centre of Arsenal’s backline as they look to keep the Liverpool attackers at bay throughout the game.
Ben White will fill in at right-back while Oleksandr Zinchenko hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Takehiro Tomiyasu and Rob Holding will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard will make up Arsenal’s midfield as they focus on winning the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park and engineer some clear-cut chances going forward. Both Xhaka and Partey have enjoyed a rich vein of form in the Premier League of late and would be expected to make a difference this Sunday evening.
Albert Sambi Lokonga will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he waits for his opportunity to make an impact in the second half if needed.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli will get a chance to shine as the left-winger while Bukayo Saka tries to weave his magic from the right.
Gabriel Jesus will once again lead the line for the North London giants on the attacking third of the field. The Brazil international would be eager to get his name on the scoresheet and help his team secure the win this weekend.
Eddie Nketiah will be named on Arteta’s bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if Arsenal are in need of a goal by then.
