Arsenal travel to Anfield in what is the first of the three remaining matches of their season. Disappointment across all four competitions leaves Mikel Arteta trying to motivate his players to finish as high up the table as possible.
Manchester City drawing with Southampton has provided some respite but there are others chasing not just Champions League qualification but that second spot too. The Gunners know a win on Merseyside would guarantee them a place in next season’s elite European competition.
Riccardo Calafiori is now back in the group and could be in contention to start. There is little telling however how Arteta might approach his team selection before a game of such strange sentiment to it.
