Gameweek 9 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes with a big, headline clash at Emirates Stadium. Here is the team news for both Arsenal and Liverpool.
True to form, Mikel Arteta’s uncertain words on Bukayo Saka‘s (£10.0m) availability have been followed by a start for the attacker, back in the Gunners’ line-up after missing last week’s defeat to Bournemouth.
Jurrien Timber (£5.5m) and Gabriel Martinelli (£7.0m) are the other changes, with Riccardo Calafiori (£5.8m), Raheem Sterling (£6.7m) and the suspended William Saliba (£6.0m) all making way.
Arne Slot also makes a trio of swaps for Liverpool, as Luis Diaz (£7.9m) and Darwin Nunez (£7.1m) come in for Cody Gakpo (£7.1m) and Diogo Jota (£7.3m). The latter has a slight rib injury.
Furthermore, midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai (£6.4m) is only named on the bench, replaced by Alexis Mac Allister (£6.2m).
