There’s one more Gameweek 18 match to get through today – and the winner will have the honour of being top of the Premier League table at Christmas.

Liverpool v Arsenal kicks off at 17:30 GMT.

The Gunners, in actual fact, can hold on to top spot with just a draw at Anfield, following Aston Villa’s slip-up against Sheffield United on Friday.

Jurgen Klopp has made two changes to his starting XI for this evening’s encounter.

Darwin Nunez and Ryan Gravenberch drop to the bench, the latter fit enough to take his place among the Reds’ substitutes after recovering from muscular fatigue.

Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo come into the starting line-up in their places.

Mikel Arteta sticks with the same 11 players that saw off Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend.

Jorginho and Mohamed Elneny are back from injury and among the substitutes.

GAMEWEEK 18 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Szoboszlai, Endo, Jones, Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.

Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Nunez, Elliott, Gravenberch, Clark, McConnell, Quansah, Bradley.

Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Odegaard, Rice, Havertz, Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.

Subs: Ramsdale, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Kiwior, Soares, Trossard, Jorginho, Nelson, Elneny.

Never had a season like this where every week I'm transferring out injured or suspended players rather than making transfers I actually want to make. Cash, lascelles and Tsimikas this week. Almost impossible to make up ground on others

Exactly, would have done Darwin > Solanke this week but had to put out fires

Gabriel and Archer were logical benching decisions for most of us

Scapegoat Salah

Trent just loves a late BPS boost

TheBiffas

Tsimikas broken collarbone.

BUZZBOMB ♡

Will obviously wait but

Saka, Archer > Richa, Haaland for a -4 if the big man is declared fit? 3-4-3?

Garnacho is gash

What to do with Livra, my main def right now:

1) Keep and start
2) Bench, Lamptey to TAA/someone else
3) Sell for TAA/someone else

I think that TAA and Porro are the best two defenders to have currently.
