The outcome of the Liverpool vs. Arsenal clash on Sunday could have a massive effect on the 2022\u201323 Premier League championship battle. Mikel Arteta’s team will be driven to avoid dropping points against a demoralized Jurgen Klopp’s side. However, playing at Anfield is always a considerable challenge, regardless of how Liverpool currently performs. The opposition side never wants to miss out on their key players when playing at this ground, and Arsenal will be no different. Let’s quickly review the team news and potential starting lineup for Arsenal in their critical clash against Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Arsenal will be aiming for their eighth consecutive win in the Premier League<\/a> competition this weekend. In fact, their latest defeat in all competitions was against Manchester City in mid-February. Liverpool, on the other hand, has remained winless since their 7-0 crushing victory over Manchester United at home. The All-Red have surprisingly underperformed this campaign, but on Sunday, they could become a spoiler in Arsenal\u2019s title race.Read More: <\/strong>\u2018I Understand\u2019: Arsenal in Negotiations to Sign \u2018Most Impactful Substitute\u2019 Down to New Deal \u2013 Romano<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal<\/a>\u2019s latest victory against Liverpool<\/a> at Anfield came in 2012, almost 11 years ago. So, this stat makes the matchup even more interesting to watch despite the fact that both sides are going in completely opposite directions in terms of their current form. In that case, having a full-strength squad will boost Mikel Arteta’s confidence before the big matchup.<\/p>\n As per the latest updates, the Gunners will be without some key players for this tough battle against Liverpool away from home.<\/p>\n The most notable one is French defender William Saliba. He is one of the regular starters this season but missed the last two matches due to a back injury that he sustained during Arsenal\u2019s Europa League clash against Sporting CP. Reports, including one from Daniel Cutts<\/a>, have claimed that he has yet to return to training and will not play in the Liverpool match.<\/p>\n Former England U21 forward Eddie Nketiah has been regularly featured this season for the Gunners<\/a> but hasn\u2019t played since early March. He has been suffering from an ankle injury, and multiple reports (like Alex Young of the Evening Standard<\/a>) claim the talented striker could come back into action before the end of the season.<\/p>\n Japanese versatile player Takehiro Tomiyasu has proven himself a key member of Mikel Arteta<\/a>\u2019s setup since making his move to Arsenal in 2021. He sustained a serious injury during Arsenal\u2019s clash against Sporting CP and will be missed for the remainder of the season. Even though Ben White is Arteta\u2019s preferred No. 1 pick for the right-back position, having Tomiyasu would boost Arsenal\u2019s squad strength.<\/p>\n Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Elneny is still in the recovery process after undergoing surgery last January. When he will come back into action is still uncertain. He will not feature against Liverpool<\/a> on Sunday.Read More: <\/strong>\u2018Specific Interest\u2019: Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool Target \u2018Very Intelligent Player\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n Our next test awaits \ud83d\udc4a pic.twitter.com\/RvkZA9jTgJ<\/a><\/p>\n — Arsenal (@Arsenal) April 8, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nWilliam Saliba<\/h3>\n
