Arsenal’s Predicted Starting XI to face Liverpool

Francis Coquelin and Santi Cazorla

Francis Coquelin displayed a bit of disciplinary issues against Crystal Palace and you can bet Liverpool did their homework and realized that they can pick on Coquelin and try to provoke him to rash challenges. Arsenal are not, after all, well staffed behind him.

However Coquelin is still an invaluable member of this XI and will get the trot out any given match day. He just really needs to control his tackles, particularly after a yellow card.

While I would love to see Ramsey next to him, Wenger does not mess with a winning formula and will deploy Ramsey on the right wing, where he and Cazorla will have creative license to yet again drift wherever they please.

Cazorla can still operate masterfully from the center of the pitch, so it is never a bad thing when he gets the spot, it is just a little nervy when he has to track back on defense.
