Liverpool and Arsenal face-off at Anfield on Saturday evening in a clash between the early leaders of the Premier League.
There have been 30 goals in the last six games between these two teams at Anfield and it’s safe to say we can expect more of the same again this weekend.
We’ve had a look at just how Jurgen Klopp might line his Reds out for the 5:30pm kick-off on Merseyside.
Adrian is expected to continue in goals for Liverpool due to Alisson’s enforced absence because of a suspected calf-tear.
Joel Matip should keep his place in central defence at the expense of young Joe Gomez.
In midfield, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho will most likely return to the starting eleven after being rotated for last week’s visit to Southampton. That game came just a couple of days after they had returned from Istanbul and their UEFA Super Cup success.
In the forward line, it should be business as usual for the three dangermen – Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mané.
Predicted Liverpool lineup (4-3-3) Vs Arsenal: Adrian; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mané
