**London, England** – Arsenal will welcome back key players Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber from injury as they prepare to face Liverpool at Emirates Stadium.
Saka, who missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury sustained on international duty, and Timber, who has recovered from a groin problem, both start for the Gunners.
However, Arsenal will be without Riccardo Calafiori, who sustained an injury against Shakhtar Donetsk, and William Saliba, who is serving a one-match suspension following his red card against Bournemouth.
The back four will see Thomas Partey, Ben White, Gabriel, and Timber, with David Raya in goal. Declan Rice anchors the midfield alongside Mikel Merino and Leandro Trossard, while the front line features Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz. Saka will captain the side in the absence of Martin Odegaard.
Liverpool, meanwhile, will be without Diogo Jota due to an injury sustained in their last league match against Chelsea. He is replaced by Darwin Nunez. Further changes from their 2-1 win over Chelsea see Alexis Mac Allister replacing Dominic Szoboszlai, and Luis Diaz coming in for Cody Gakpo.
The match promises to be a thrilling encounter between two of the Premier League’s giants, with both teams eager to start their season strong.
