Email! “Your reference to monomania,” writes Ian Copestake, had me envisaging Arteta as Ahab emerging from solitude in his cabin to pin on the mast as motivation for his crew in their pursuit of the white whale, a sixteen-dollar gold dossier doubloon. I tell you I would love it if at Anfield the Arsenal manager is indeed donning a peg-leg.” Mikel Arteta meanwhile, opts for experience in midfield, with Bruno Guimaraes preferred to Myles Lewis-Skelly. Otherwise, with Bukaya Saka injured, it’s Noni Madueke not Eberechi Eze on the right wing, while Christos Tzolis returns from six weeks out to play on the left.

Exciting news as regards the Liverpool XI: Trey Nyoni, impressive in pre-season and when he’s played so far this, is handed a first Premier League start. That it’s in a game of this magnitude tells us how highly he’s rated by his manager, and tells Ryan Gravenberch that the competition has arrived. I really like what I’ve seen of him, and I expect him to establish himself as a regular starter.
