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.

    Ah Fabinho. He thinks he’s a professional footballer doesn’t he. Who encouraged him to think that?

    Reminds me of that midfielder Chelsea bought from Ligue 1 a year or two ago. Every time he played he was actually a hindrance to the team. Can’t see ‘Fab’ staying in Klopp’s plans next season at all.

    Utter trash.
