Arsenal in injury crisis as Arteta seeks rare league win at Liverpool

Liverpool and Arsenal aim to strike first blood in the English Premier League title race as last season's top two face off at Anfield after a summer of heavy spending.

Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz will be sidelined for many weeks after picking up injuries while skipper Martin Odegaard is a doubt for their English Premier League clash away at reigning champions Liverpool, manager Mikel Arteta said on Friday.
Saka limped off during Arsenal's 5-0 home win over Leeds United and Arteta said he injured his hamstring. However, he will not require surgery which kept him out for months last season.
"Bukayo is doing better but he is out for a few weeks unfortunately. No surgery, it’s not as bad as the previous one," Arteta told reporters.
"Obviously it's very unfortunate to pick it up but it's on the other side... Let's see how he evolves in the next few days and weeks, repeat the scan and see where he's at."
Havertz injured his knee in their season opener at Manchester United and Arsenal confirmed the German underwent a minor surgical procedure.
