Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard both return to the starting XI to take on Liverpool in the Premier League at Emirates Stadium on Thursday evening.

The two were both used from the bench in our 3-2 win at Bournemouth at the weekend, but replace Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli to face the champions.

The rest of the team is unchanged from the side that started at the Vitality Stadium, meaning the back four of Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel and Piero Hincapie continue in front of David Raya.

The midfield consists of Martin Zubimendi, Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice, with Viktor Gyokeres leading the line up front again. 

Liverpool make one change from the side that drew 2-2 at Fulham at the weekend, with Jeremie Frimpong coming in for Curtis Jones. It means there is still no Hugo Ekitike in the matchday squad.
