Ray Parlour has named just two Liverpool stars in a combined Arsenal and Reds XI ahead of their upcoming Premier League clash this weekend. The two 'big six' rivals meet at Anfield on Sunday afternoon with a lively clash expected if the reverse fixture is anything to by after Bukayo Saka settled a five-goal thriller at Emirates Stadium in October.
Since that game, Arsenal and Liverpool have travelled in very different directions. Mikel Arteta's men are firmly in the hunt for the Premier League title replacing Liverpool for the 2022/23 season in battling Man City for the crown.
Jurgen Klopp's side, meanwhile, have struggled to hit consistent form and find themselves in eighth, 10 points off the top four. Liverpool have been plagued by injury issues and a once water-tight defence has leaked 33 goals this season, which sees Arsenal dominate the selections in the back line for Parlour's combined XI.
