Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Liverpool

Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from their North London derby defeat to Tottenham Hotspur when they welcome champions Liverpool to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening.

The Gunners now host a Liverpool side that need victories in all of their remaining games to break the all-time points record for the English top flight, having already wrapped up the title in record time.
