Arsenal were handed a late boost as Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard travelled with the squad to face Liverpool, raising hopes they could feature despite recent injuries. Bukayo Saka remains sidelined for weeks with a hamstring problem. Odegaard’s shoulder knock and Trossard’s minor doubt had initially ruled them out, but their inclusion offers Arteta new options. Arsenal still face a depleted lineup, with Saka, Havertz, Jesus, White and Norgaard missing, forcing possible reliance on summer signings in attack.

With James Trafford starting this season, Ederson’s role has diminished, prompting speculation. PSG are willing to sell Donnarumma for €30m after signing Lucas Chevalier, and City would target the Italian keeper as a replacement if Ederson moves to Turkey.
