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.

              Seriously got no idea what game you’re watching.

              Didn’t realise if the score is 0-0 that means an attacking/creative player must be playing poorly.

              Lol.

    I captained Salah purely on the basis of a dream I woke up half remembering.

    Maddison > Richarlison too knee jerk?

    Have 2FTs. I have other options but would have to bring in Kiko and Success to accommodate due to prices and ITB funds.
