Arsenal being the Cesc Fabregas-less era with a tough home match against one of their major rivals for a Champions League place, hosting Liverpool at the Emirates. Samir Nasri starts in the centre in the place of the departed captain - although he may not last the week at the club either. Liverpool, meanwhile, drop Luis Suarez to the bench, preferring to use former Newcastle striker Andy Carroll's physical presence to unsettle an often vulnerable Arsenal defence.
