'Bukayo Saka & Martin Odegaard to start' for Arsenal vs Liverpool - fans react

Liverpool fans believe that Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard will both start this Sunday (27 October) when they face Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.

Saka has been unavailable since England’s defeat against Greece in the Nations League due to a hamstring issue, while Odegaard has been out of action since the previous international break.

The club captain suffered an ankle ligament issue while representing Norway, leading to him missing nine games across all competitions.

During the pre-match press conference, Mikel Arteta confirmed that Saka has done some team training and he refused to rule out either player for the Liverpool game.

The Arsenal boss said, “We’re going to do our very best to somehow have them available, but it’s very uncertain.

Arsenal are also dealing with injuries to Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber for Sunday’s clash against Liverpool, while William Saliba will be unavailable to Arteta due to suspension.

Liverpool fans are expecting to see Arsenal have both their star players fit

The fixture will be important in the race for the Premier League title, with Liverpool being the current league leaders.

The Reds sit four points above the Gunners heading into this weekend, but supporters expect to see many of Arsenal’s injured stars feature against them in some capacity.

No lying – I hope Arsenal's team is full strength. No injuries. Arteta's tactics – peak – and we beat them.— smtm_lfc1975 (@smtm_lfc1975) October 26, 2024

Entire week of moaning about an injury crisis from the fans, manager and former players, and yet when Timber and Saka inevitably start on Sunday, Arsenal will be missing as many starting players to injury as Liverpool are. https://t.co/cqt8Qv1gxH— barry (@BackseatsmanLFC) October 26, 2024

I want Saka, Califiori, White, Timber and even Odegaard to play Sunday. I don’t want any Arsenal excuses that they only had half a team out when we beat them.— SJF1971 (@SJF_LFC) October 25, 2024

All this tactics for one match saka , odegaard and timber to start— phransis1 (@Francis4111) October 25, 2024

By now staunch Arsenal fans should know Arteta likes to keep his cards close to his chest regarding injured players ahead of big matches. I'm confident Saka will play against Liverpool. Timber and Odegaard may be on the bench or even start. https://t.co/rat0FtOhkD— Kumbaya (@afolabihakim) October 23, 2024

He’ll play, make his injury worse and it’ll be everyone but Arsenal and Arteta’s fault. https://t.co/U6o5Q48umP— … (@LFC922) October 25, 2024
