Here is how Arsenal could lineup against Liverpool in the Premier League.
Arsenal will travel to Anfield to take on Liverpool in the third week of the Premier League action. The Gunners have won their opening two games, same as Liverpool – heading into this fixture with total positivity.
The games against Newcastle United and Burnley were more about securing three points, rather than producing one with a captivating display. The first match against the Magpies was tame, while the Clarets showcased the Gunners’ defensive vulnerability. It forced Unai Emery to ponder and reshuffle the midfield – protecting the backline from getting exposed once again.
On the other hand, Liverpool were the ones to inaugurate this year’s Premier League season with a comfortable 4-1 victory over Norwich City in Anfield. That game was followed by a successful Super Cup clash against Chelsea in Istanbul. Jurgen Klopp’s side showed no signs of slowing down – managing to clinch a marginal 2-1 win against Southampton last weekend.
The Reds enter this game as favourites, but the Gunners could avert the hosts’ dominance because of the forward line. The likes of Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette have goals and could disrupt the rhythm of Liverpool.
We shall look at Arsenal’s potential starting lineup against Liverpool.

Rob Holding (Knee), Hector Bellerin (ACL), Kieran Tierney (Hip), and Konstantinos Mavropanos (Groin will miss this huge clash through injuries.
