3 – Simon Mignolet
Despite all the talk surrounding Liverpool’s poor style of football, there is one man responsible for ensuring they didn’t fall short on their opening two games.
Mignolet has already pulled off two clean sheets this season, and has been the man responsible for his sides six points they currently hold.
Two impressive performances against Stoke City and Bournemouth ensured the Belgian shot-stopper of an average rating of just over 7 on WhoScored.com.
Arsenal will have their work cut out when it comes to breaking down the goalkeeper yet to concede a goal in 2015/16, and whether Wenger opts for Walcott or Giroud, the strikers are going to get frustrated.
Mignolet will have confidence in his defence at set pieces if Walcott does start, with the only aerial threat being Mertesacker, who will be taken care of by Martin Skrtel.
The man between the sticks will have to cope with shots coming in from all directions though, with a fully fit Alexis and in-form Santi Cazorla to deal with.
Mignolet had a drop in form last year, but now he looks like a goalkeeper who is in control of his net and Arsenal will struggle in front of him on Monday evening.
