Arsenal take on Liverpool this Sunday in a huge Premier League clash at Anfield.
Mikel Arteta's side currently lead the league, sitting eight points clear of second-placed Manchester City, although the reigning champions have a game in hand on their title rivals. The Gunners will be hoping they can end their Merseyside hoodoo, failing to win away to the Reds in the league since 2012.
Arteta will be boosted by the fact that he has the opportunity to field his first-choice front three for the first time since November. Centre-forward Gabriel Jesus had been sidelined for the best part of four months after suffering a knee injury during the World Cup before making his first Premier League start last weekend against Leeds United.

Jesus netted twice in the 4-1 victory, although it was the first league match that right-winger Bukayo Saka didn't start this term, with the 21-year-old named on the bench due to illness. However, Arteta confirmed that Saka is now fully fit and available for this weekend's trip up north, meaning Jesus, Saka and left-winger Gabriel Martinelli can all be named together in Arsenal's starting XI for the first time since November's 2-0 victory over Wolves.
Of course, all three aren't guaranteed to be handed the nod, especially when you consider how well January signing Leandro Trossard has played in recent times. The Belgian international, who joined from Brighton during the winter window, has netted one goal and provided a hugely impressive seven assists in just 11 outings for the Gunners.
Trossard also scored a hat-trick at Anfield for the Seagulls during a 3-3 draw back in October, something that Arteta has admitted gives him a selection headache ahead of tomorrow's match. "It’s great to have a player that has experienced something really nice and positive in that stadium and was a crucial player on that day", Arteta said when discussing the 28-year-old's record against the Reds.
"It was a beautiful game to watch and that’s what we need, players with a lot of belief on that pitch that we can go there and win it."
