Arsenal visits Liverpool on Saturday night aiming for the top spot this Christmas.
Currently, Mikel Arteta’s team is two points ahead in the league. However, they face a challenging away match against Everton, who often perform well against them.
Despite Arsenal’s strong play this season, they have struggled on the road recently, conceding the first goal in their last three away games. With several key defenders missing, Arteta needs his patched-together defense to be solid if they want to secure all three points at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta announced that Ben White will be sidelined for “a few games” due to a hamstring injury. This leaves Jurrien Timber as the only experienced option at right-back. On a positive note, Riccardo Calafiori returns from suspension and is likely to take his position on the left side of defense.
In the center, Gabriel Magalhães is still out, so Piero Hincapié is expected to partner with William Saliba. In the midfield, Martin Zubimendi is fit to start alongside Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard. Up front, although Mikel Merino is a possibility, Viktor Gyökeres appears to be the top choice, supported by Bukayo Saka and the in-form Leandro Trossard.
