Arsenal face Liverpool today looking to record their first Premier League victory away at Anfield since way back in September 2012.
The Gunners have not tasted success in a top-flight fixture at Liverpool in 13 games, a barren run they are striving to end this weekend.
To do that, they will need to be water-tight defensively. David Raya will start between the sticks after sitting out Tuesday's Carabao Cup horror show at League Two outfit Fleetwood Town.
There's debate over who will start at right-back as Jurrien Timber and Ben White both played 45 minutes in midweek. Timber, because he's more defensive, could get the nod as Mikel Arteta targets a clean sheet.
At centre-back, Ezri Konsa will partner Gabriel Magalhaes while at left-back, there is doubt over Riccardo Calafiori's fitness following the unspecified issue he sustained against Everton last weekend.

The Italian trained on Friday so he is in contention but if he doesn't make it, Piero Hincapie could get the nod after playing in midweek against Fleetwood. As he's not long returned from injury, he could play around an hour with Myles Lewis-Skelly filling in for the rest of the match. It's still not set in stone that Calafiori will miss the game, anyway.
In midfield, Declan Rice looks set to partner Bruno Guimaraes. The pair started together in Munich and currently look like Arteta's first-choice midfield pairing, though Rice did feel his right hamstring in the latter stages of the 2-0 win over the Toffees.
In attack, things are a bit more complex. Bukayo Saka is sidelined while Max Dowman is suspended after Arsenal's appeal was unsuccessful. Noni Madueke, providing he is fit, will start at right-wing.
Arteta revealed on Tuesday that Madueke had picked up an ankle issue against Everton. The hope is that he should be okay to feature, however, barring any late hitch. Martin Odegaard will then start as the No.10 while Eberechi Eze should start on the left flank for the Gunners.

At centre-forward, the position is up for grabs. Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres, who scored, were both poor on Tuesday against The Codd Army and it's possible Mikel Merino could get the nod over both of them.
Knowing Arteta though, he will favour Havertz even if the German is desperately out of form having not scored since the 2-1 home win over Chelsea before the last international break.
'Finishers' could be important for Arsenal, too. They are going to have to weather a barrage on Merseyside and it's key that they are clinical when they do get their chances.
Predicted Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Guimaraes; Madueke, Odegaard, Eze; Havertz.
