Arsenal predicted lineup against Liverpool at Anfield:

GK) Wojciech Szczesny

Arsenal’s undisputed No.1, no questions about who will start between the sticks.

RB) Mathieu Debuchy

The Frenchman played fantastically at centre-back last week, with some even calling for him to continue there. He is likely to move back to his preferred right-back position however, with Calum Chambers returning to the side.

CB) Calum Chambers

Returning after serving a one match ban, likely to play in the centre in Laurent Koscielny’s absence.

CB) Per Mertesacker

Arsenal’s ever present at the back, sure to continue and captain the side.

LB) Kieran Gibbs

With Nacho Monreal a massive doubt, Arsene Wenger will be hoping Gibbs can stay fit and get a run of games under his belt.

DM) Mathieu Flamini

The Gunners are very thin in midfield at the moment, so Flamini are likely to continue.

CM) Francis Coquelin

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is a doubt, so if he is unfit to start then we may see Francis Coquelin get his first start of the season.

CAM) Santi Cazorla

Three goals in two games, the Spaniard is just finding his form again and will continue to pull the strings from midfield.

RAM) Danny Welbeck

He may not have had the impact many were hoping for just yet, but he has slotted into the team very will since his summer switch and should continue out wide.

LAM) Alexis Sanchez

Liverpool missed out on Sanchez this summer when he chose Arsenal instead, and now he could punish them at Anfield.

ST) Olivier Giroud

The Frenchman grabbed himself a superb brace against Newcastle last week, and will be hoping for a repeat performance against Liverpool.
