Liverpool Team News

Alexis Mac Allister, Alisson Becker, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez are still on an extended holiday due to their involvement in Copa America. Also, EURO 2024 stars Cody Gakpo, Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, Ibrahima Konate, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez remain on holiday, so they also won't feature in this match.

Curtis Jones is also likely to sit out, after picking up a pre-season injury.

Predicted Liverpool lineup vs Arsenal: Kelleher; Bradley, Quansah, Van den Berg, Tsimikas; Endo, Morton; Salah, Szoboszlai, Elliott; Jota

Arsenal Team News

Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu did not travel through injury, so fans shouldn't expect to see the two defenders in action.

Fans are most excited to see a potential Riccardo Calafiori involvement. The new Arsenal transfer has travelled to the USA to join up with the squad, so he could make his non-competitive debut in this match.

Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale, Bukayo Saka, David Raya and William Saliba are still on holiday due to their involvement in EURO 2024.

Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Liverpool: Hein; White, Timber, Gabriel, Calafiori; Partey, Nwaneri, Odegaard; Nelson, Jesus, Martinelli

Liverpool vs Arsenal Score Prediction

Arsenal certainly have the stronger team, but Arne Slot will be eager to prove a point against Mikel Arteta. I do think the depleted Liverpool defence will be a problem for them, though. I will go with Liverpool 1-3 Arsenal.
