Arsenal face a right-wing selection headache ahead of their Liverpool clash due to Max Dowman's three-match ban and Bukayo Saka's thigh injury, which will keep him out until Christmas. Dowman's dismissal at Fleetwood Town means he will miss the trip to Liverpool unless the club's appeal is successful, which is considered unlikely. The club is left with limited options on the right flank.

Noni Madueke is considered the obvious choice to start at right wing for Arsenal, but his availability is uncertain due to an ankle injury sustained after the Everton match. Mikel Arteta's cautious approach to player injuries means Madueke might still be available for the Liverpool game. Christos Tzolis is another potential option, having been out injured since September and pushing to return to the squad.

Other potential right-wing options for Arsenal include Max Dowman if the appeal is successful, though this is considered unlikely, and Mikel Merino, who has never played in that position before but has shown versatility in other roles. Christos Tzolis faces a challenging task returning to the squad after two months out injured and having struggled on the road this term.
