Arsenal manager Unai Emery has made two changes to the team that started against Crystal Palace last weekend, for their blockbuster encounter against Liverpool.
Arsenal welcome back left-back Sead Kolasinac into the starting XI for their contest against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The Bosnian will be making his first Premier League appearance of the season, having been sidelined with a knee injury so far.
Hector Bellerin starts at right-back amid concerns over his fitness after an injury he picked up last weekend, while Bernd Leno is preferred in goal over Petr Cech. Rob Holding and Shkodran Mustafi make up the Gunners’ defence.
