Saka has missed our last two games after picking up a hamstring injury while on international duty, and Timber has recovered from a groin problem after sitting out the last three matches.
However we are without both Riccardo Calafiori – who went off injured against Shakhtar Donetsk – and William Saliba who serves a one-match suspension for his red card against Bournemouth.
It means the back four consists of Thomas Partey, Ben White, Gabriel and Timber – ahead of David Raya in goal.
Declan Rice is joined in midfield by Mikel Merino and Leandro Trossard, before the front line of Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz.
Saka takes the armband as Martin Odegaard is still unavailable.
The visitors are without Diogo Jota, who picked up an injury in their last league meeting against Chelsea, he’s replaced by Darwin Nunez. They make two other changes from that 2-1 win, with Alexis Mac Allister replacing Dominic Szoboszlai and Luis Diaz coming in for Cody Gakpo.
Arsenal: Raya, Partey, White, Gabriel, Timber, Rice, Merino, Trossard, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz. Subs: Neto, Zinchenko, Kiwior, Nichols, Myles-Skelly, Jorginho, Nwaneri, Sterling, Jesus.
Liverpool: Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Jones, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Diaz, Salah, Nunez. Subs: Jaros, Davies, Gomez, Endo, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Tsimikas, Quansah, Morton.
