Arsenal will lock horns with Liverpool at Anfield this Saturday evening as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to earn a solid 2-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion recently which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.
Mikel Arteta will opt for the 4-3-3 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this clash. Hence, Gabriel Jesus will once again spearhead the North London club’s attack in the final third.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Liverpool
Defence
David Raya will play in goal for the Gunners after securing a clean sheet in his last league appearance. William Saliba will play alongside Gabriel at the heart of Arteta’s defence as they focus on keeping the Liverpool forwards frustrated during the 90 minutes.
Ben White will be a nailed-on starter at right-back while Oleksandr Zinchenko hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and express themselves when they can.
Jakub Kiwior will provide cover for the defensive positions on Arteta’s bench. However, Takehiro Tomiyasu will be sidelined for this game because of injury.
Midfield
Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard will make up Arsenal’s midfield. Their main job would be win the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park and orchestrate some decent chances for their teammates in the final third.
Jorginho will be named on the bench if he can recover in time for this contest at Anfield.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli will try to give a good account of himself on the left-wing while Bukayo Saka looks to impress on the right flank. Gabriel Jesus will lead the line for the Gunners down the middle. He would be eager to keep his good form going at Merseyside this weekend after finding the back of the net against Brighton recently.
Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they wait for their opportunity to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if the North London giants are in need of a goal by then.
