"Szoboszlai was deployed once more on the right defensive flank, with Jeremie Frimpong not expected back before the end of the international break and Conor Bradley obviously still not ready to play the full 90 minutes. Midfielder Stefan Bajcetic was also out. With Alisson Becker in goal, Szoboszlai was joined by Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkez in the back line. Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch started together for the first time this season in the middle of the park,"
"Captain Martin Odegaard only made the bench after picking up a shoulder problem the previous week, as did newly signed forward Eberechi Eze. David Raya stood between the posts, with Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba starting in the heart of defence. Jurrien Timber covered the right flank, and Riccardo Calafiori the left. Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino and Declan Rice formed a three-man midfield, while striker Viktor Gyokeres had the support from Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli out wide."
Liverpool secured victory through an 83rd-minute Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick. Szoboszlai operated on the right defensive flank with Alisson in goal and a back line including Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkez. Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch partnered in midfield while Florian Wirtz played between the lines and the front featured Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike. Arsenal suffered multiple absences, including Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, with Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze on the bench. David Raya started in goal with Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba in central defence. The match was a gritty midfield battle with few chances.
