Arsenal Team News: Injuries, suspensions and line-up vs Liverpool

Everything you need to know ahead of the Premier League match at Emirates Stadium on Saturday

Arsenal will be looking to end a run of six winless games on Saturday when they face Liverpool in the game of the weekend.

The Gunners won 12 matches in a row in all competitions before last weekend's 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.

However, they lost their opening first two games of the season against Manchester City and Chelsea, with head coach Unai Emery determined to show that his Arsenal side can compete with a fellow top six side.

Arsenal Injuries

Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac have minor right hamstring injuries, Hector Bellerin (thigh) and Sokratis (right ankle) are also being assessed ahead of the game.

Mohamed Elneny, Laurent Koscielny and Dinos Mavropanos are also ruled out.
