I'm not looking to sell my Arsenal players just because they face Liverpool away in gameweek nine.

David Raya (£6.2m) and Riccardo Calafiori (£6m) remain quality defensive options, but the Liverpool fixture does make a clean sheet less likely than usual.

After that, Arsenal face Hull, Newcastle, Manchester City and Brentford. There are opportunities in that mixed fixture run, and Arsenal being one of the best teams in the league makes them favourites going into the majority of games.

If you've got Arsenal defensive assets, I'd be happy to hold rather than spend transfers trying to chase fixtures. If Calafiori is injured, I'll probably just bench him against Liverpool and hope he's ready for Hull at home the following gameweek.

However, I wouldn't necessarily be buying Arsenal assets this week as several other teams offering more attractive short-term fixtures.

I'd prioritise those options before bringing in another Arsenal defender.
