Arsenal will be hoping to keep their winning streak going when they travel to face a struggling Liverpool team on Sunday. The Premier League leaders won their seventh straight league game on Saturday, thumping Leeds 4-1, and it pushed them eight points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the league table. Liverpool, on the other hand, were held to a disappointing goalless draw at Stamford bridge on Tuesday.
Based at present performance, Arsenal are considered favourites win this game. They would, however, need to be at the top of their game to avoid dropping crucial points against Liverpool this weekend.
Having said that, here are the most recent injury reports from the Emirates Stadium before of this vital match.
* Here are 3 Arsenal stars who are doubtful for Sunday's crucial EPL clash;
1. William Saliba
The defender was ruled out of the game against Leeds owing to a back injury sustained in the Europa League defeat to Sporting CP last month. Arsenal are still uncertain about William Saliba's return, making him a significant doubt for this encounter.
2. Ben White
Ben White had some fitness concerns prior to the game against Leeds, but he later played and even assisted the win with a goal. After the game, Arteta claimed that his fitness would be evaluated and that he would most likely be fit for the trip to Anfield.
3. Bukayo Saka
The Arsenal attacker did not start against Leeds due to illness, but he did come in as a substitute. He is a minor doubt for this crucial game.
* Here are 3 Arsenal stars who will miss this crucial game;
1. Eddie Nketiah
The Arsenal striker is still recovering from an ankle injury and Arteta has confirmed that he will be unavailable to face Liverpool.
2. Takehiro Tomiyasu
Tomiyasu had knee surgery last month and will not be able to play in this game. He is not expected to return until next season.
3. Mohamed ElElnh
Mohamed Elneny will also not be back until next season after undergoing a surgery earlier this year.
