Mikel Arteta has disclosed that Arsenal will be looking into ways to better manage Bukayo Saka's recurring hamstring injury, whilst also acknowledging Liverpool as the favourites for the title.

The Gunners are set to travel to Merseyside on Sunday, having secured maximum points from their first two matches of the season.

Arne Slot's team have also bagged six points from their initial two games of the campaign, with a last-minute goal from young player Rio Ngumoha securing a victory against Newcastle United in their previous match.



He hasn't had that many to be fair with the amount of games that he's played at his age.

He felt something, so he will be out for a couple of weeks."

Liverpool concluded the campaign 10 points ahead of Arsenal last season and secured the title in Slot's inaugural term at the helm of the club.

When questioned whether Liverpool are the frontrunners to defend their title, Arteta responded: "The favourite is always the one that won the previous year.

"Somebody has to come and take that crown away from them so that is what we will try to do.

He remarked: "He's played there many times.

I think he's the type of player that loves those scenarios and those moments.

"I think the moment he starts to play, we will see how the team will react and what connections will flourish from his interventions.

"I'm very confident that he's played in the League so many years.
