"Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard come into the Arsenal side in place of Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli. Those are the only changes from the 3-2 win at Bournemouth. Liverpool make one change from the draw at Fulham: Jeremie Frimpong comes in for Curtis Jones. Arsenal (4-3-3) Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard. Subs: Arrizabalaga, White, Gabriel Jesus, Eze, Martinelli, Norgaard, Madueke, Merino, Lewis-Skelly."
"There was the Thierry Henry-inspired comeback at Highbury in 2003-04, the symbolic birth of the Invincibles at Anfield in 2001-02 plus Paul Merson's winner on the same ground in 1990-91. Even the 4-0 defeat at Anfield in 1997-98 was a triumph of sorts: the reason Arsenal weren't at the races was that they had won the title against Everton three days earlier, with all the ABV that entails."
Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard start for Arsenal, replacing Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli, with those the only changes from the Bournemouth win. Liverpool make one change, Jeremie Frimpong replacing Curtis Jones. Arsenal line-up is set in a 4-3-3; Liverpool set up in a 4-2-3-1 with Gakpo leading the attack. Anthony Taylor referees. Historical Arsenal-Liverpool matches are invoked to underline the fixture's significance. A victory for Arsenal would move them eight points clear of Manchester City and Aston Villa, strengthening their position with 17 league games remaining. Kick-off is 8pm.
