Yankee Gooner is back from a brief vacation and ready to discuss all things Arsenal!
So, let’s begin with Saturday’s key Premier League showdown with the defending champions, Liverpool.
Arsenal could possibly will face the Reds without two key players on the Gunners side. Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe are both recovering from injuries and will be assessed ahead of the match. If both are unable to play, here’s my predicted starting XI for Mikel Arteta’s side this weekend.
[4-2-3-1]
Lacazette
Aubameyang, Odegaard, Pepe
Xhaka, Partey
Tierney, Gabriel, Luiz, Bellerin
Leno
Predicted final score: ARSENAL 2 – Liverpool 2
