Mikel Arteta makes DESPERATE last-ditch plea ahead of Liverpool clash | OneFootball

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is battling an injury crisis ahead of facing Liverpool in the Premier League.

Mikel Arteta has called on the Arsenal fans to create an atmosphere as his Arsenal side searches for positives ahead of Liverpool. The Gunners are lacking players right now.

Not only is William Saliba suspended for the fixture but Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber are all major injury doubts. They add to the definite injuries: Martin Odegaard, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Keiran Tierney.

Arsenal aren't in a great position, then, and now they've got a rampant Liverpool heading to the Emirates. That's a Liverpool side with 11 wins from 12 - the greatest start to a season in all competitions in their history.

Arne Slot is masterminding a brilliant season and while there's a ways to go, Sunday feels like true title clash. Manchester City remain favourites - but a win here for either side would be a massive statement.
