And with that in mind, Arsene Wenger says Arsenal simply wouldn’t fall into Liverpool’s ways as they have the most ‘complete squad’ in the Premier League. Speaking on beIN Sports, he said: “I think they (Arsenal) have the most complete squad.”

Liverpool has fielded a weakened team and gotten duly punished in a 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the League Cup, the latest setback to strike the beleaguered English champions.

Three wins in three -- with eight goals scored and none conceded -- see Arsenal sit pretty in fourth, and they will look to continue that positive form in Prague. At Turf Moor last weekend, their airtight defence once again laid the platform for a comfortable 2-0 win as they show no signs of slowing down.

The scheduling of the game means both sides will have only one day's rest following Premier League action on December 21.

When Arsenal signed Declan Rice for £100m in the summer of 2023, it sent shockwaves through the game, but it may have actually been a worthy investment after all. The former West Ham captain was always highly-rated, but even still, the nine-figure sum was seen as a hefty price by some.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been training with Arsenal on Monday. The former Gunners midfielder was a surprise inclusion at the club's training ground at London Colney. Oxlade-Chamberlain is a free agent after his stint in Turkey with Beskitas came to an end with a mutual termination of his contract.
