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.

      If Hazard plays 90 tomorrow and scores well I’ll be gutted. Had the armband on him all week until Friday’s presser 🙁

      Laca bonus or TAA?

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

        Milner 3
        Laca 2

    4. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Phew, so in the end didn't make a difference playing Success over TAA

    5. BenDavies
      • 11 Years

      Doherty, it's time to shine.

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

      3. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Was spewing that I made the wrong decision. Benched TAA and started Doherty. Now it feels like another chance, cmon son.

          Isn't he at risk of rotation? He s played hardly any minutes. Antonio on his case also

      An aguero assist is all it takes to give me the biggest red arrow of the season, Mo ( C) what on earth was in thinking going against the masses

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Yes. After bonus.

      5. George Sillett
        • 8 Years

        No.

    19. Arteta
      • 8 Years

      Unbeaten in 14, good stuff. Gotta be loving Emeryball.

    20. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      TAA to sneak in a BAP. Maybe 2.

    21. HurriKane

      Salah turned to a flat track bully this season.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Not really doing much on the flat track either.

    22. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Never needed a mega Kun haul so much to salvage a poor week.

    23. Kszaq
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      6 played - 16 points. What a mess according to the last week' 106 gwp...

    24. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      2 gameweeks owning Robertson has resulted in 2 points, my timing this season is crap so far

    25. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Emery keeps playing Auba out of position, subs him off when they're chasing a game. What a Muppet!

    26. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I was gonna get rid of Laca but surely I should keep. Was all set on Laca to fodder and Hoiberg to Martial for a 5 man power midfield.

      "After losing their opening two games, Arsenal are now unbeaten in 14 games in all competitions under Unai Emery"

      Wonderful reading for us Arsenal fans 😀

      Hopefully Rafa is still on here.
      Even if Lascelles is injured - would you consider Fernandez or Yedlin?

      They've tightened up like a...(use your imagination).

    29. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      I really need a Patricio double penalty save, multi other saves, 3 point BAPS clean sheet performance now.
