EPL: Ray Parlour names only two Liverpool stars that can play in Arsenal’s XI

Former Arsenal man, Ray Parlour has named his Liverpool-Arsenal combined starting XI.

In his lineup, just two of Liverpool players could make the cut.

Arsenal have a date with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday in what is a pivotal game for both sides.

The Gunners would be looking to keep their eight-point lead over Manchester City in the title race.

The Reds go into the game sitting eighth in the table and 10 points behind fourth-place Manchester United.

Parlour’s combined XI of the two sides is based on current form and fitness and this reason is dominated by Mikel Arteta’s team.

The Gunners legend told NetBet: “Looking at current form, it has to be all Arsenal, except for Virgil van Dijk.

“You would also still have to find a spot for Mohamed Salah, but you can’t leave Bukayo Saka out and Gabriel Martinelli is playing well, so it is an awkward one.

“But with Gabriel Jesus having recently come back from injury, I would put Salah up front over the Brazilian.”
