Next Newcastle United manager Unai Emery Villarreal
Unai Emery Villarreal

Arsenal will take on Liverpool in the English Premier League this Saturday at Anfield and Unai Emery might have a few surprises up his sleeve.

The club have already confirmed that both Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka have returned back to full training earlier this week after missing out during the 2-1 win over Burnley last weekend.

And it more or less certain that one of these returning players are likely to be named in the first XI vs Liverpool – with most people betting on Granit Xhaka.

And now if reports are to be believed then Rob Holding is back in full training for the Gunners and could feature in the matchday squad on Saturday.

Holding ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last December and since then has remained on the sidelines.

But it looks like the centre-back is pretty close to a first-team return and he is likely to take part in an Under-23 match against Everton on Friday night.

If he features in this game then there is no way that he will feature vs the Reds the very next day but some rumours claim that Rob Holding might travel with the squad.

We though do not think that this will turn into reality since the last thing that Unai Emery would want to do is to rush him back into action.

Apart from all these senior team movements, the manager has also called up as many as five youngsters ahead of the visit to Merseyside.

Youngsters have featured heavily during the first two games for Arsenal and by the looks of it, a few more youngsters could feature on the bench when the Gunners take on Liverpool.

The youngsters who have received a call up for Arsenal are: James Olayinka, Bukayo Saka, Folarin Balogun, Emile Smith Rowe and Zak Swanson
