Arsenal confirmed team news vs Liverpool as Saka returns, Saliba misses out and Trossard dropped

Bukayo Saka returns to the starting line-up after getting over the illness which meant he was unable to start in the 4-1 win over Leeds United. Leandro Trossard is the man who misses out in his place, dropping to the bench instead.

The Belgian will be looked at as a second half impact substitute after scoring a hat-trick at Anfield for Brighton earlier this season. Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli make up the front three who start together for the first time in the league for five months.

William Saliba was hinted at by Mikel Arteta that he might be the mystery player who could train ahead of the trip to Anfield but he has not been given the green light. This means Rob Holding continues with Ben White, Gabriel Magalhaes and Oleksandr Zinchenko ahead of Aaron Ramsdale.

Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard and Granit Xhaka are the trio who again form a first at Anfield. Sambi Lokonga and Nuno Tavares were in the side that lost 4-0 in November of 2021 but Mikel Arteta will be hoping this much-improved eleven have enough.

Reuell Walters again comes into the squad as defensive reinforcement. Arsenal will have further attacking options from Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson and Fabio Vieira.

Arsenal line-up vs Liverpool: Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
