[Confirmed] Lineup v Liverpool: Wenger names full strength team; Walcott on the bench

Arsenal-Liverpool
Barclays Premier League
The Emirates
Kick off: April 4th, 2015 1245 BST

Ahead of the crucial game against Liverpool at the Emirates, Arsene Wenger has named a full strength team in an effort to continue our seven match winning streak. With the form we are in, changing too much might not have been a good idea, and the manager certainly seems to think so as well.

Between the sticks, David Ospina retains his position on the basis of his good form of late. In defence, Hector Bellerin starts as right back ahead of Chambers, and he will need every bit of pace he has to cope with the Liverpool attack. In central defence, Mertesacker and Koscielny are reunited while Monreal retains the left back slot.

In midfield, Coquelin retains his role as the enforcer, and his handling of players like Coutinho will be crucial if we want a positive result today. Ramsey partners him in central midfield, while up front we have the dangerous attacking trio of Cazorla, Ozil and Sanchez. Their job will be to get the ball to Player of the month Olivier Giroud, who is in sensational form of late.

On the bench, Theo Walcott is a key player who could make a telling late contribution.
