Emery has a selection headache to deal with for Saturday with the majority of his backline suffering through injury.
Hector Bellerin has been sidelined for the Gunners with the defender being forced off against Crystal Palace last Saturday with a muscle problem but has been deemed fit enough to start. Sokratis Papastathopoulos was assessed before the fixture after having picked up an ankle problem and did not make the squad, while Mohamed Elneny is absent with a thigh issue.
Nacho Monreal were Sead Kolasinac doubts with injury, though the latter made the XI. Meanwhile Laurent Koscielny is recovering from an Achilles issue and Konstantinos Mavropanos is out with a groin problem.
Matteo Guendouzi has been given a one-match ban following the red card he received against Blackpool in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday and will miss the game against Liverpool.
Arsenal XI: Leno; Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Kolasinac; Xhaka, Torreira; Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Aubameyang; Lacazette.

A huge win against the Gunners in North London would be a massive boost for Liverpool’s hopes of pipping ahead of Manchester City in the title race, as Jurgen Klopp’s side sit second in the table.
Pep Guardiola’s team currently claim the top spot through a superior goal difference but a Reds win would hand them a confidence boost as they look to continue to challenge the defending champions for the top spot.
Arsenal themselves have also emerged as low-key title challengers this season under Unai Emery , with the Spaniard casting away early season doubts about the side after suffering huge losses against Man City and Chelsea – and steering the Gunners to a seven-game winning streak in the league, which only came to an end on Sunday when they drew with Crystal Palace.
Fixtures between the two sides always make for thrilling encounters, with Liverpool smashing Arsenal 4-0 in the fixture at Anfield last season and then the two playing out a dramatic 3-3 tie during the return leg at the Emirates.
Liverpool have managed to steady the ship following a four-game winless run against the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Napoli in the Premier League and the Champions League, though 4-0 and 4-1 thumpings against Red Star and Cardiff City will surely give Klopp’s side a massive confidence boost ahead of their trip to the Emirates.
Arsenal managed to edge out a 2-1 win over Blackpool in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday which has earned them a quarter-final clash with North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur .
