Liverpool vs. Arsenal: Eze to Debut in Premier League Showdown

Liverpool and Arsenal are set to face off at Anfield in an early clash of last season's Premier League title contenders. Both teams have won their first two games of the season, with Liverpool conceding twice in each match while Arsenal has kept consecutive clean sheets.

Arsenal has made significant signings in Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze, and Martin Zubimendi during a £250m spending spree. The Gunners will be without Bukayo Saka but have Martin Odegaard and Eze on the bench. A victory against the champions would signal Arsenal's intent for the season.

In team news, Arsenal believes they can exploit more space offered by the Premier League champions compared to last season. Eze is on the bench for his first game with Arsenal, while Odegaard's injury is not as severe as initially thought. For Liverpool, Alexis Mac Allister returns to the starting lineup.

The line-ups for the match are as follows:

Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Rice, Merino; Martinelli, Gyokeres, Madueke. Liverpool XI: Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.

Liverpool needs to score in this game to set a new club record for consecutive scoring games in the top-flight. Arsenal has kept clean sheets in their first two Premier League games this season. Both managers, Mikel Arteta and Arne Slot, acknowledge the strength of their opponents and anticipate a challenging match.
