Arsenal's summer spending has been significant, with the £67.5m arrival of Eberechi Eze bringing their total to £267M. Eze, a former Crystal Palace star, could potentially replace Odegaard in the creative role. However, according to former Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn, Arteta may want to consider a different option.
Winterburn suggests that 17-year-old Albert Nwaneri could be the answer to Arsenal's midfield problems. When Nwaneri came on in Odegaard's position, he played a slightly different role, taking up a different position on the pitch and demanding the ball more. Winterburn was impressed with Nwaneri's performance, praising his excellent passing and ability to beat midfield opponents.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will be without Jeremie Frimpong due to a thigh injury, and Alexis Mac Allister is a doubt for the clash. Both teams are dealing with crucial injuries, and each side will need to be at their best to snatch three points.
