According to various sources. That at the very least gives us a fighting chance.I always back us to get a draw at the very least against big teams at the Emirates even under Wenger.
No point stressing how crucial Bellerin is to this side, the leagues top assist maker and a real outlet on the right. The issue is who plays on the right next to him & it appears it will be Iwobi as Auba will start again on the left.I have my reservations about starting Auba due to his lack of involvement but you cant argue with 7 goals scored from 10 shots(that includes 2 horror misses at Chelsea)
Looks like we have identified Liverpools right as a weak point as TAA does not track his man although I suspect Gomez will start anyway. The key man is Ozil. If he & lacazette can find spaces between the Liverpool midfield & their CB pairing then we may just win. We have scored more goals than them so we should score, its just the defense that must turn up.Mustafi is an issue but he has a history of turning up in big games so who knows.
I have a bet running with Gaffer Pranks so here is hoping for an entertaining 2-2
Looks like Bellerin & Kolasinac will start

Iwobi can't play on the right and Auba can't play on the left. Really hope we don't start like this
I would rather start Iwobi on the left and Welbeck on the right.

I personally prefer Aubameyang to start from the bench until we start playing better as a team after which he will be our main striker ahead of Ozil. At the moment we aren't good enough to create good chances for him throughout a 90 minute match to carry him and despite his goals I worry when we have him from the start especially against a team that starts well like Liverpool.
I had a look at highlights of Liverpool vs Sevilla(Europa Final) this morning & Liverpool should have buried Sevilla in that first half in Basle. Emery changed the game around in the 2nd half and Liverpool were smashed 3-1 after being a goal up at half time.
You expect them to come at us considering our defensive issues. Yes they were pragmatic against City, but City are a level above most teams. They had a go at Spurs, had a go against Chelsea so I expect them to come at us.
If we hold them of, and they hopefully miss a few, in the second half our better fitness and Emery's ability to read the game perfectly will give us the advantage in the 2nd half which is why I want Auba to start from the bench.
Welbeck on the right is a very good call.Ozil needs runners as does Xhaka.

We have a better defence than last year and a much better one than when we played seville in the final. You still have some match winners but your defence is a mess and we need to exploit that.

Imaigine the horror if we kept a clean sheet! Merson would have to be talked down from jumping off a multi story car park

No chance of a clean sheet but I can't believe how over confident the Liverpool fans are. Don't get me wrong, Liverpool are currently better than us but going by there fans and the media, you would have thought we were playing prime Barca

I honestly don't know what the fuss is about Liverpool. None of their players would get into our team. Fully expecting us to win today.

Fecking ridiculous isn’t it. You’d think this Liverpool team had been picking up trebles for the last 4 seasons. They’ve won nothing! they’re better team than us at present, but Christ some people in the media need to get a grip when it comes to Liverpool
