Bruno Guimaraes, Mikel Merino or Myles Lewis-Skelly? Arsenal’s big Anfield decision

For all the talk about the depth in Mikel Arteta’s squad, his team for Anfield on Sunday almost picks itself. David Raya will start in goal, with Jurrien Timber, Ezri Konsa, Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori in front of him.

With Bukayo Saka out and Max Dowman suspended, Noni Madueke (if he’s fit) and Eberechi Eze will start out wide, and Kai Havertz, Arteta’s go-to in the big games, will lead the line.

Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard are undroppable in midfield. The only real uncertainty is who plays alongside them. Under Andoni Iraola, Liverpool don’t necessarily like to have too much of the ball — at least not as much as we would typically expect a Liverpool team to.
