Gabriel Martinelli has been warned that Trent Alexander-Arnold will 'be up' for Arsenal's clash with Liverpool at the weekend. Mikel Arteta is set to welcome Jurgen Klopp's side to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, October 9, as the Gunners look to defend their place at the top of the Premier League.
The north Londoners have failed to win in each of their last five attempts against the Merseyside club, with Liverpool winning both of the previous two matchups. Arteta will undoubtedly be looking to put the record straight with the club enjoying a great vein of form at the moment.
Martinelli, who has spearheaded Arsenal's great start to the campaign, started in each of the last three sides to lock horns with Liverpool and is yet to come out on top. The 21-year-old has directly contributed towards four goals in eight Premier League games this season and, with Alexander-Arnold in somewhat of rut of poor defensive showings, he'll be hoping to add to his tally.
