Predicted Line-Ups For Arsenal vs Liverpool
Arsenal welcome Liverpool to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday night for this weekends top of the table clash.
The Gunners head the Premier League table by two points from Liverpool and Chelsea so this game could prove key in how the table shapes up come May.
Arsene Wenger is likely to recall a number of first team players after naming a weakened team during Tuesday’s 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Capital One Cup.
The likes of Wojciech Szczesny, Bacary Sagna, Per Mertesacker, Kieran Gibbs, Mikel Arteta, Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud all all expected to return to the starting line-up.
Mathieu Flamini is out injured after picking up a groin problem last weekend so Jack Wilshere could partner Arteta in the middle of the park with Ramsey out wide. Alternatively, Wenger may decide to go with the Welshman in the middle and Wilshere on the wing.
Theo Walcott, Lukas Podolski and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are still sidelined so the attacking line-up is likely to have a familiar feel to it.
As for Liverpool they have been boosted by the news that Philippe Coutinho is back in the squad and the Brazilian could replace Victor Moses in the starting eleven. Daniel Agger is pushing for a recall but may have to make do with a place among the subs again, but Jose Enrique remains an injury doubt.
Here’s the line-ups we may see on Saturday:

Ramsey and Wilshire are not defensive midfielders and that fact will cost Arsenal dearly when they meet quality opposition, e.g. Dortmund and Chelsea. I would rather see Rosiky back there since he works his butt off and loves to tackle.

It all depends how Wenger wants to shape his squad to handle the in-form duo of Sturridge & Suarez. Rosicky probably provides a better defensive balance to the team with Flamini out injured so maybe it would be good to leave Wilshere on the bench and bring him on if scores remain level at half-time.
I think it’s going to be the best Premier League match so far this season as both teams are in great (league) form. My prediction, 1-1 at half time, then Arsenal to win 3-2! COYG!!!

if ozil can’t string the passes sturridge will punish them with arsenal focusing on suarez. i see a tight game maybe no goals till second half i think walcott is badly missed for this game and if coutinho plays he might not be at his best yet. 2v1 liverpool
