Saka And Trossard To Start | 4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs Liverpool

Arsenal will entertain Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium this Thursday night as they look to secure all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to earn a hard-fought 3-2 win away at Bournemouth recently, which should keep them in good spirits going into this game.

Mikel Arteta will set his players up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first team for this contest. Both Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard could get a chance to impress from the start of this game.

4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Liverpool

Defence

David Raya will feature in between the sticks for the Gunners after conceding a couple of goals in his last appearance. William Saliba will resume his partnership with Gabriel at the heart of the Arsenal backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the game.

Jurrien Timber will try to put in a solid display at right-back, while Piero Hincapie hopes to prove his worth 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.

Ben White and Myles Lewis-Skelly will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Arteta could name a midfield three of Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Martin Odegaard as they focus on winning the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park and orchestrating some decent chances in the final third.

Eberechi Eze and Mikel Merino will have to settle for a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Leandro Trossard will try to give a good account of himself on the left flank, while Bukayo Saka looks to catch the eye as the right-sided wide player.

Viktor Gyokeres will lead the line for the North London club up top. The Swedish forward has to find a way to be a constant menace in the final third this Thursday night.

Gabriel Jesus will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if the Gunners are in need of a goal by then.
