Defensive changes for Liverpool as Salah eyes more goals at Arsenal

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), Sadio Mané (£9.8m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) have all been named in a strong Liverpool signed to face Arsenal this afternoon.

The devastating forward trio have featured together sparingly in recent weeks but the trip to the Emirates means back-to-back starts along one another for the second league match in a row.

Jurgen Klopp has made changes in defence with Andrew Robertson (£6.4m) returning at left-back after missing out on the Gameweek 10 win over Cardiff.

Also coming back in is Joe Gomez (£5.1m), with Dejan Lovren (£4.9m) absent from the match squad and Alberto Moreno (£4.2m) dropping to the bench.

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.7m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) start together for the second match in a row for Arsenal, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£6.8m) is named on the team sheet for the first time since Gameweek 9.

Sead Kolasinac (£4.9m) is set for his first Premier League minutes of the campaign as he lines up at left-back for Arsenal.

ARSENAL XI: Leno; Bellerín, Holding, Mustafi, Kolasinac; Torreira, Xhaka; Mkhitaryan, Özil, Aubameyang; Lacazette

LIVERPOOL XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Milner, Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

      Sometimes there's a quiet success story that might not affect FPL too much - but I'm delighted for Snoddy now getting a chance and winning over the fans.

      Got rinsed by the chairman and forced out on loan. Good for him.

        Well he was well respected by the Villa. Just wished we had the resources to sign him

      Monaco's magic potion starting to wear off on Fabinho like it did on Bakayoko. Both need to go visit Getafix

        Fabinho has been terrible. He seems to not have the PL tempo in quote yet....
        Come on Pool!

    • pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Lacazette is a Emery favourite.

      Always plays on and Auba gets subbed.

    • HurriKane
      • 11 Years

      VVD is due a premier league goal.

        • 14 Years

        If only I could find 0.9 to upgrade TAA to him

    • R.C
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      VVD should've scored a hat trick

    • el polako

      VVD is due since January.

    • Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      If you own Kun, was captaining Salah a bit desperate and chasing points ?

      1. Burger

        Don't know, ask Ville...

        Understandable, if it was the last week of the season and you were behind in a ML.

    • Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Must be a tough watch for Van Dijk owners today, could have had a hatrick
