Arsenal and Liverpool face each other for their high profile curtain-raiser for the new season. New signings Granit Xhaka and Joel Matip start on the bench for their respective teams, as both sides look to deal with considerable injury and fitness worries.
Wenger will play Chilean attacker Alexis Sanchez up front, as the young pair of Calum Chambers and Rob Holding start in the heart of the Arsenal defence.

Klopp has, meanwhile, named a very attacking line-up against Arsenal, and the Reds are very likely to go straight for the jugular. Roger Klavan, Georginio Wijnaldum and Sadio Mane will all make their competitive debuts for Liverpool.
