Former Arsenal forward Thierry Henry (Picture: Getty) Thierry Henry is confident that two Arsenal stars will take their chance and make a difference for Mikel Arteta’s side when they face Liverpool on Sunday. But Arteta’s side face a tricky task against Liverpool, who sit fourth in the Premier League table and have won their last five matches in all competitions.

The Gunners remain without first-team star Bukayo Saka after he picked up a quad injury against Bayern Munich, while Christos Tzolis is battling to make his return after missing Arsenal’s last six matches. Arsenal face a stern test against Liverpool on Sunday (Picture: Getty) ‘When they have a chance to show what they can do, they need to show it, and Eze and Madueke have been showing it. ‘Eze scored against Bayern, Madueke came on and scored against Nottingham Forest, so they are making an impact.

That shows you that they aren’t passengers, and usually they come on and change the game. ‘That’s the luxury of having good players on the bench, and that’s why Mikel Arteta is calm when he’s asked questions about players like Eze and why they aren’t playing so much.’ To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Last year at Anfield, it was Dominic Szoboszlai’s superb free-kick which sealed a narrow 1-0 win for the hosts, and Henry expects a similarly tough challenge from Liverpool this time around after their impressive win against Brighton last weekend. ‘We played a lot of games without Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz, but still managed to find a way,’ Henry added ‘Look at who scored the other day – Konsa and Gabriel. This team finds a way to win games. ‘After the defeat against Brighton, I said we have to see if that game would be a heavy one for the Arsenal players. ‘They reacted well, and I thought the approach to the game against Bayern Munich was very good, trying to be on the ball, put pressure on and play through the lines. ‘Let’s see what happens away from home against a Liverpool team who are looking a bit better, especially against Brighton.
