Seven down, one to go: the final Premier League match of the day sees Liverpool play host to Arsenal at a rain-soaked Anfield.

Kick-off on Merseyside is at 17:30 GMT.

The Reds scored three goals home and away against Arsenal last season and have found the net on 28 occasions in their last eight home league meetings with the Gunners.

Mohamed Salah personally has six goals and four assists in eight fixtures against Arsenal since joining Liverpool in 2017, averaging 8.13 points per match.

The Egyptian is part of an unchanged front three this evening, taking his place alongside Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane.

Jurgen Klopp has been forced into two alterations elsewhere, however, with captain Jordan Henderson only fit enough to make the bench and Andrew Robertson absent entirely.

Thiago Alcantara and Konstantinos Tsimikas come in to replace them.

Mikel Arteta’s only change from the 1-0 win over Watford in Gameweek 11 is a predictable one: Thomas Partey returns from a muscle injury at the expense of Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also fit enough to feature despite some cryptic comments from his manager in Friday’s pre-match press conference.

    My striker curse is legendary-
    Antonio- stopped scoring
    Vardy- stopped scoring
    Kane - never did start scoring (hopefully he will)

    Who’s first to get the chop- Vardy or Antonio? Thinking Antonio➡️ Jimenez as Vardy has ‘easier’ games.

    Another thoughts would be appreciated!

      Please don’t get Jiminez - I’ve not had the chance to ship him yet

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He bought that fake big time

  12. @persecuted_by_mods
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Thank you Tavares and fair play Jota, composure!

    Be interested in who's salivating over Ramsdale in the media now?

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Can't blame him.

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years

      Still had a good game, can’t save everything.

  15. Ze_Austin

    Arsenal's confidence could easily be their undoing at Anfield

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Certainly on Twitter with their fans

  16. el polako

    Who's managing Molde these days ?
    Wonder if he is getting excited?

    1. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It’s the Bodo/Glimt manager in demand, that’s the one that smacked 6 past Jose’s Roma!

  17. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    And to think United let Conte go to Spurs.... mind boggling!

  18. Gross Blank Point
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    The whole game I've talked myself out of getting Jota, now he's back on the radar

  19. @persecuted_by_mods
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I might as well criticise Antonio, seems like calling out my non performing players on here makes them return. Antonio you are useless!

  20. OPTA FPL

    Trent assist?

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years

  21. fusen

    Absolutely horrific by Arsenal passing it to Jota unmarked in the box.

    Arsenal finally being punished after a couple of extremely fortunate clean sheets

    To demonstrate how much a quality manager and proper behind the scenes work can make a difference, this Liverpool squad has been assembled by Klopp with a £60 million net spend.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Selling players is a little bit of luck for managers. "Jürgen Klopp sold 58 players for £453,100,000". https://www.lfchistory.net/Transfers/ByManager/28/0

      Arsenal managers, for instance, have not been lucky with how the Arsenal club have handled player sales.

      Meanwhile Klopp benefits from 25.5m from Brewster, 20m from Ings, 24m from Solanke, 32m from Benteke, and.... 142m from Coutinho.

        Some might say its a gamble

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          They certainly might!
