Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta Remains Upbeat Despite Injury Concerns Ahead of Liverpool Match Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is staying positive ahead of the big match against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium, despite dealing with several injury concerns. The Gunners will be without William Saliba due to suspension after being sent off against Bournemouth. Arsenal's record without Saliba is a worrying one, with the team boasting a 74% win rate when he's on the pitch, compared to a 45.5% win rate when he's absent. Arteta's side has been navigating a challenging injury crisis, with doubts surrounding Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber, and Riccardo Calafiori. Martin Odegaard is also unavailable, but Gabriel Jesus is expected to be available for selection after recovering from a hamstring injury. Ben White is likely to be available after suffering a muscle injury. "We don't feel sorry for ourselves, we face it, and we know how good we are," Arteta said. "We have different options. That partnership William Saliba and Gabriel has been very stable, but we have to find a solution." Arteta also praised Liverpool's manager Arne Slot, saying his start has been "very good" and they're a team competing at the highest level. The upcoming match against Liverpool is expected to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams looking to make a statement in the title race. Despite the injury concerns, Arteta remains confident in his team's abilities and is looking forward to the challenge.
