The Gunners want to balance the results on Thursday when Liverpool rolls into Emirates Stadium. The Reds defeated Arsenal 1-0 on August 31st.
Besides retribution, Mikel Arteta also plans to keep his lead in the Premier League title chase. Currently the Gunners have opened a five point gap over Manchester City and Aston Villa at the top of the table.
Liverpool will be missing at least five of their top players, including Mo Salah and Alexander Isak, however, this is never an easy match, so the Gunners need to show up in full force and with a 100% intention to dominate and win the game.
With that said, here’s my predicted starting XI on Thursday…
[4-3-3]
Trossard, Gyokeres, Saka
Rice, Odegaard, Zubimendi
Hincapie, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber
Raya
Predicted final score: ARSENAL 2 – Liverpool 0
