da bwin： Arsenal will face Liverpool in the League Cup on Wednesday as they look to bounce back from their 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.
da realbet： With this being the least important of the four competitions in which the Gunners are competing, plenty of changes can be expected, but it should still be a strong side with the European champions as the opposition.
Watch the moment Granit Xhaka’s Arsenal career may have come to an ugly end in the video below…
Here, we try to predict Unai Emery’s starting XI.
With this being in a cup competition, Emiliano Martinez will come back into the side to make his fourth start of the campaign. He has kept three clean sheets so far, although he could have a hard time doing that against the Reds.

Having not played against the Eagles, Sead Kolasinac should come in, with Hector Bellerin doing the same on the right side of the defence.
In the middle, we might expect to see Rob Holding and Calum Chambers. It will be interesting to observe how they get on against Liverpool’s strikers considering the pair of Sokratis and David Luiz conceded three and generally struggled in the Premier League match earlier this season.
Following on from the unsavoury incident at the weekend, Granit Xhaka is unlikely to feature, whilst Matteo Guendouzi should be rested. Emery has plenty of talent amongst his replacements, though, and as such, Lucas Torreira and Joe Willock should be adequate alternatives in the middle of the park.
Only Reiss Nelson is out injured currently, which gives the former Sevilla boss plenty of options.
Bukayo Saka, having only been a substitute against Roy Hodgson’s side could be included, as might Dani Ceballos who should move into a number 10 position.
Having previously impressed up front for the Gunners, scoring five goals so far this term, it could be a surprise to see Gabriel Martinelli on the right flank here, but it will all make sense in a moment.
Having missed a large part of the campaign already, Alexandre Lacazette is fresh and his experience will be needed against a side with the quality Liverpool possess As such, the France international should start as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang begins on the bench.
With all of those amendments in mind, it could mean the Arsenal boos makes as many as eight changes from last time out.
