Jurgen Klopp has named a familiar lineup to face Arsenal at Anfield, with the Liverpool manager recalling several missing stars from the midweek fixture against Chelsea. Curtis Jones starts in central midfield, while Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah begin from the off.
Alisson remains firmly settled between the sticks for Liverpool with a familiar back four lining up ahead of the Brazilian. After being rested for the midweek encounter, van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, and Alexander-Arnold were reinstated into the lineup. Ibrahima Konate retains his place from the midweek game.
