Arsenal may as well shatter Liverpool’s top 4 hopes if they beat the Reds at the Emirates on Saturday.
On the other hand, a Liverpool victory will re-ignite the to 4 race once again and will give United the chance to move into third place.
Gunners defeated Liverpool in the corresponding fixture last season as North Londoners completely outplayed the merseysiders.
This season, the two sides were involved in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Anfield as late goal from Martin Skrtel ensured the points were shared. The Slovakian defender will be out with suspension for this game alongwith Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.
As far as Arsenal team news is concerned, expect few changes to be made in the starting XI that played against Newcastle in the last league game.
Welbeck has a knee problem and record signing Mesut Ozil should come back into the starting line up. Other than that, Hector Bellerin should replace Chambers to take right full back position.
Here is how Arsenal will line up vs Liverpool.

How Arsenal will line up Against Liverpool

We expected MU to play defensive against Pool. Similarly most analysts expect Pool to play safe
with the injuries thry have had. I aint going to be surprised if the reds go on the offensive.
Still Arsenal must be careful.That means stop the endless passing and shoot when there is a chance
of a goal.Arsenal must be careful of the sudden breakout from defence to attack.MC were caught unaware and lost.
Its better Carzorla to replace Ramsey and give that wing opportunity to man Oxy – Chambeline. They will depend on counter attack defensively LPool hence we need assistance of Gunners is not Gunners without Oxy.
Abu Mombasa Kenya.
Wenger had a poor record against the top three clubs last season. He has beaten MC in the epl and MU in the cup.Now beat Pool and we will probably finish in the top 4.However a word of warning.
Arsenal and in particular the top gunners seem to go awol in the big games. To avoid this they need to be careful with their attacking in the final third. You can bet if a ball were to break loose/intercepted.mispassed,etc,Pool will be flying into the quick attack with two three passes.Watch out for Countiono and Henderson.
Imho,Arsenal still take too many touches to shoot and score. Why not a diagonal/long through ball and three/four passes to score.
I expect Arsenal to win by a 2 goal margin but I strongly believe Pool will play anti socce r and hit on the break.Wenger has been at the receiving end of these tactics against Chelsea and MU in particular.
With the new guy in central defence,I am more confident Arsenl can cope with the speed posed posed by Sturridge.
Oh I forgot to mention one Dm still harbours winning the epl.He says he has always won atrophy
in his first season at a new club. Well it aint going to be so easy. First there are 4 not one or two who can win the title.
Then we have a pragmatci manager in the so . He wont hesistate to play ugly to win or anti soccer.Compared to 1996 keegan threwaway the crown through his arrogance and belief that attack is the best way.
I maybe wrong but if any of Chelsea/Mu Arsenal can win the epl and consign to the dustbin the rd belief they have adivine right to the epl..I will be over the moon if they finish 5th,
