Three changes for Liverpool
Arne Slot makes three alterations to the side that defeated Chelsea in their previous match. The key update is Darwin Nunez leading the line, which is expected due to Diogo Jota’s injury.
Luis Diaz comes in for Cody Gakpo, while Alexis Mac Allister steps into midfield, replacing Dominik Szoboszlai. Curtis Jones retains his spot after his strong performance last weekend.
Arsenal team: Raya; Partey, White, Gabriel, Timber; Rice, Merino, Trossard; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli

Saka, with seven assists in seven games this season, provides a significant attacking lift, while Timber’s inclusion is crucial on the defensive end.
Arsenal vs Liverpool in the Premier League kicks off at the Emirates Stadium at 16:30 GMT on Sunday 27th of October 2024.
