Gunners can't misfire

Injury-hit Arsenal have little room for error when Premier League leaders Liverpool visit the Emirates tomorrow despite losing just once so far this season.

Two under-pressure managers face off at the London Stadium as Julen Lopetegui aims to quell disquiet among the West Ham support against Erik ten Hag's Manchester United.

Arsenal were tipped to push Manchester City all the way again this season after twice coming so close to a first Premier League title since 2003/04.

But it is Liverpool who lead the way after a near-flawless start to Arne Slot's reign.

The Gunners' shock 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth last week leaves them four points behind the Reds and three adrift of second-placed City.

Arsenal could be without three of their most important players with William Saliba suspended, Martin Odegaard sidelined by an ankle injury and Bukayo Saka a doubt due to a hamstring problem.
