Arsenal and Liverpool could have 16 players ruled out of FA Cup third round clashArsenal welcome Liverpool to the Emirates for the third round of the FA Cup, in what is fast becoming a fixture of intense rivalry. Entering the match both teams look set to be without a host of familiar names, with Arsenal and Liverpool poised to be missing a combined 16 players for their FA Cup battle. Thomas Partey is also a long-term absentee for Arsenal, and was recently ruled out of the Ghana squad for the upcoming AFCON tournament. For Arsenal, both Bukayo Saka and Ben White stand as doubts, despite each playing through respective injury concerns in recent weeks. A calf complaint saw Oleksandr Zinchenko left out of the matchday squad against Fulham as the Gunners came undone, while lesser-seen midfielder Fabio Vieira also will not be fit in time for the Liverpool cup clash.
