It’s funny you had to bring Kai Havertz in this, yeah his got some credibility in Arsenal but excuse me, I don’t find home to be a very inportant piece to the team.
At first, I thought that if Kai Havertz wasn’t injured, he could be a substitute in case something bad happened. Because I’m sure all Arsenal players would work harder and use up more energy. So if Kai Havertz wasn’t injured, he could replace Gyokeres in the second half to keep the main players’ fitness preserved. But it seems like Gyokeres had to play the full match in that game.
Saka is and would be missed in that game for sure. Still, I don’t think it’s a game where Liverpool would have it easy, not easy in fact, the best result that could come off this fixture is a draw.
It makes sense that the match could end in a draw even without Saka. From the rumors I’ve seen, Madueke is likely to replace Saka’s position, and I think Madueke is quite good and reliable. After that, Martinelli will be in the LW position. With that, the Arsenal squad is still strong enough to put up a fight against Liverpool.
