Even though Arsenal has squad depth this season, I still believe the absence of Odegaard and Saka will be a big blow for Arsenal when they face Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend because Eze Eberechi and Noni Madueke won't perform the way Odegaard and Saka could have performed against Liverpool.
You have a point, but I disagree with the Ødegaard part... He has been underperforming for the past year and in the previous game, as soon as he was substituted, Arsenal played better. IMO, Eze fits better in that position and I have a feeling the link-up play between Eze & Gyökeres will be more effective due to his previous relation with Mateta at Crystal Palace. I think Arsenal will either win or draw.
- BTW, considering that Norway has selected Ødegaard for their upcoming games, there's a big chance he might also play at Anfield.
