Arsenal predicted XI

The winger started on the bench against Bournemouth on Saturday before coming on midway through the second half.
Arsenal have been keen to manage his minutes when they have played three times in a week, but he should be fresh to come into the starting lineup against Liverpool.
Leandro Trossard will also hope to return in place of Gabriel Martinelli, who did not grab his chance when starting last time out.
Mikel Arteta confirmed at his press conference on Friday that Arsenal will again be without Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera.
Eberechi Eze has not played a single minute in four games
"I think pretty soon they have to go to the last stage of the rehab," Arteta said. "I think if everything goes well, hopefully very soon they will be available for selection."
The Gunners could have Kai Havertz back in the squad, after he was left out against Bournemouth to manage his load as he returns from a lengthy absence.
The German has not featured since the opening game of the season away at Manchester United.
"Yeah, we are monitoring, obviously his load he has been out for a long time for two different reasons and he's very close," Arteta said.

"He trained this morning again and hopefully we're going to have him available and the best version of Kai Havertz."
Eberechi Eze has not played a minute in Arsenal's last four Premier League matches and Gabriel Jesus is yet to start in the league this season, but both could once again have to settle for places on the bench.
More rotation is expected on Sunday against Portsmouth in the FA Cup, with Arteta likely to stick with more of a first-choice lineup here.
