Revealed: How Arsenal get on WITHOUT suspended defensive lynchpin William Saliba ahead of massive clash against title rivals Liverpool

William Saliba is arguably Arsenal's most important player. Unarguably, he is amongst a growing list of Mikel Arteta's unavailable stars and will perhaps be the one Gunners fans are most concerned about as Liverpool make a weekend trip to the Emirates.

Fortunately, the Rolls-Royce centre-back isn't injured and will return once he serves a one-game suspension after being sent off against Bournemouth as Arsenal dropped to their first Premier League defeat of the season.

Arsenal's loss is Liverpool's gain however and the temporary breaking of Saliba's formidable defensive partnership with Gabriel is a huge boost for Arne Slot's league leaders.
