Mikel Arteta's new role for Takehiro Tomiyasu drops an early Arsenal team news hint vs Liverpool

Arsenal came out 3-0 winners against FK Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday evening. First-half strikes from Eddie Nketiah and Rob Holding gave the north London side the advantage before Fabio Vieira's late goal secured all three points for the Gunners.

It was in this game that Mikel Arteta gave a team selection hint ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League fixture against Liverpool on Sunday. This was highlighted with his decision to adopt Takehiro Tomiyasu into a new role for the last 15 minutes of the Europa League tie.

Kieran Tierney started the game at left-back but was subbed off in the 75th minute despite Arsenal not having another recognised left-back on the bench, highlighting that he may have a part to play in Sunday’s fixture against Jurgen Klopp’s side.
