Front Three

The one place where Mikel Arteta has the flexibility to make some rotational changes and I think we will see plenty. The only bummer is we don’t get to see Eddie Nketiah since he’s still suspended.

That limits the options up top, so chances are Alexandre Lacazette will keep his start. His smashing goal against Spurs is the kind of goal we’ve been dying to see him score, so I’m excited to see if he can re-up on that effort against Liverpool, even if nothing much else came from his performance (or anyone’s).

It’s on either side of him that things can get creative. Reiss Nelson will probably see some time on the pitch on that right-hand side as the right winger over Nicolas Pepe, who should be saved for te City match-up.

Opposite him, it has to be Bukayo Saka, who was left out of the starting XI against Tottenham.
