The Reds make three changes at Emirates Stadium as Joe Gomez, Andy Robertson and James Milner return to the starting XI for the clash with Arsenal.
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Milner, Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah, Firmino.
Subs: Mignolet, Sturridge, Moreno, Lallana, Shaqiri, Origi, Matip.
With Hendo and Kieta at least a week away from returning, LFC still have options for Midfield. Fabinho keeps his place alongside Gini and Lallana drops to the bench as Milner comes in. The other changes are in the back 4 and Gomez returns to partner VVD.
The bench has attacking options with Sturridge, Origi, Shaqiri and Lallana as options – Moreno and Matip offer defensive options if needed.
I wondered whether Lovren/Matip would partner VVD with Gomez on the Right to offer more defensive cover to cope with Arsenals attacking threat. It seems LFC though have opted for a strong Midfield that may not have the creative edge that Shaqiri or Lallana may bring – maybe hoping to shut out Arsenal before they get the ball forward to their attackers.
Come on you REDS!!! YNWA
