The Arsenal manager has problems to solve, particularly at the back, before the visit of in-form Liverpool to the Emirates

Bukayo Saka is a doubt ahead of Arsenal hosting Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend. An update has also emerged on the status of defender Riccardo Calafiori.

It may only be October, but there’s a genuine fear that Arsenal could be out of the title race before it’s begun by the end of the month. Poor results against Bournemouth and Brighton earlier in the season mean that their upcoming clash against an in-form Liverpool has become a must-win.
