Nicolas Pepe returns to the Arsenal line-up for the Premier League encounter with Liverpool at Emirates Stadium.

The Ivorian winger is deployed in attack alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette for the first time since the FA Cup final win over Chelsea in August.

Rob Holding comes in for the injured David Luiz, with Thomas Partey partnering Dani Ceballos in midfield.

Granit Xhaka misses out through illness and Bukayo Saka (hamstring) and Emile Smith Rowe (hip) aren't risked after sustaining injuries over the international break.

The Gunners boast a substitutes bench which includes Gabriel Martinelli, Willian and Reiss Nelson, with Eddie Nketiah and Mohamed Elneny also among those Mikel Arteta can call up on.

Arsenal XI vs Liverpool: Leno, Chambers, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Ceballos, Odegaard, Pepe, Aubameyang, Lacazette

Subs: Ryan, Bellerin, Cedric, Mari, Elneny, Nelson, Willian, Martinelli, Nketiah.
