Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams has heaped praise onto Rob Holding after his performances in place of William Saliba. The Gunners defender has impressed in the recent Premier League wins over Crystal Palace and Leeds in Mikel Arteta's defence.
Holding has deputised for Saliba in the last two games after the Frenchman sustained a back injury in the Europa League exit to Sporting CP. The 22-year-old has now missed the last three fixtures after picking up the knock, with him absent from the squad to face Liverpool.
Arteta makes only one change to the side that eased past Leeds last weekend with Bukayo Saka replacing Leandro Trossard after dropping to the bench with illness with Holding partnering Gabriel.
