Arsene Wenger confirmed Alexis Sanchez is available for the match after recovering from injury but is unsure if he will start.

Lacazette has led the line in each of Arsenal’s two games so far this season, scoring in the Gunners’ 4-3 win over Leicester on the opening weekend.

Arsenal’s £52m club-record signing Lacazette has yet to line-up alongside Sanchez but Keown is excited by the prospect of seeing the pair in action against Liverpool.

“They give Arsenal a real cutting edge,” Keown told the Daily Mail.

“Although his goal was narrowly chalked off for offside, I was impressed with how Lacazette dispatched his finish at Stoke.

“It reminded me of how Ian Wright used to finish. Thierry Henry’s finishing was more graceful but Wright was like a marksman.

Arsenal are hoping to get back to winning ways with victory at Anfield after slumping to a 1-0 defeat to Stoke last time out.

Liverpool go into the match on the back of three straight wins that has seen them beat Hoffenheim twice in the Champions League and Crystal Palace in their last league outing.
