Arsenal's Danny Welbeck: In contention to start against Liverpool

Welbeck could start in Saturday's match with Liverpool. "He's in contention." manager Arsene Wenger said. "Yes [we've been careful] because he had ups and downs with his response to his knee problem. I followed the advice of our medical staff."

Analysis:

Welbeck has a good chance to start with Mezut Ozil missing training Wednesday because of an illness. If Ozil is unable to return in time, Alex Iwobi could move into the German's role, while Welbeck could start on the wing.
