Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been putting his players through their paces ahead of Sunday’s Premier League meeting with Liverpool.

The Gunners host Jurgen Klopp’s Reds at the Emirates Stadium, hoping to continue their impressive record.

Arsenal sit second in the Premier League table and have two wins out of two in the Europa League.

Victory for the North Londoners will see them leapfrog Manchester City back to top spot.

Meanwhile, Liverpool sit tenth in the table, having won just two of their seven games in the league so far.

However, the Reds go into the game on the back of a 2-0 win over Rangers in the Champions League.

On Saturday, the Arsenal media team shared pictures from their latest training session at London Colney.

And one youth team player featured prominently in the photos – Under-18s captain Bradley Ibrahim.

The 17-year-old joined the Arsenal academy in 2017, having spent most of his youth at the QPR academy.

In March this year, Ibrahim signed his first professional contract at the Emirates Stadium.

Ibrahim has described himself as a “dynamic deep midfielder or box-to-box midfielder” who’s also a “good goal threat”.

This season, he has played for both the Under-18s and Under-21s.

It looks as though Arteta rates him highly, and it’ll be exciting to see how he develops this season and in the coming years.
