Arsenal go to Anfield with eyes wide open — injuries bite, but the squad depth now softens the blow. Losing Havertz and facing doubts over Ødegaard and Saka would have left last season’s side exposed; this year the arrivals of Madueke, Eze and Gyökeres give Arteta real options and big-game nous when it matters most. London Colney might have a busy physio room, but panic stations remain empty. Credit must go to the sporting director, who has quietly reshaped the roster and answered last season’s lessons with decisive action. The heavy investment wasn’t vanity — it was a plan to build a title-ready squad — and so far it’s paying off, even as the club continues to pursue that Leverkusen centre-back to plug the final gap. If Arsenal can keep adapting through setbacks, this feels less like consolation and more like strategy: strengthened, ambitious and ready to take the fight to Liverpool. #AFC #livars #arsenalindonesia
