Kick-off for Liverpool’s visit to Arsenal is just moments away. This is the biggest match of the Premier League weekend. The match gets underway at Emirates Stadium in North London at 16:30 PM BST. The lineups are in, and Jürgen Klopp has made no changes to the side that played in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
The Reds were impressive in their last match, a 2-0 win against Rangers at Anfield. Tuesday’s effort was one of their most complete of the season. That would be the reason why Klopp would leave the lineup unchanged.
Liverpool’s last Premier League action was a 3-3 draw at home to Brighton last Saturday. They definitely want to bring some of that Champions League form to their Premier League matches. Today would be a good time to start.
Arsenal, known to their fans as the Gunners, are in top form. They currently sit 2nd in the Premier League table. Their last Premier League match was a rapturous North London Derby, where they beat their eternal rivals, Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 last week.
Both teams played European matches mid week. As we mentioned, the Reds looked great against Rangers on Tuesday. Arsenal beat Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt 3-0 in the Europa League on Thursday. That gives the Reds a little more rest than the Gunners, which they may need today.
Here are the lineups for Arsenal vs. Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium:
Arsenal

Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Ødegaard, Martinelli, Jesus

LFC Globe Verdict
It’s no surprise to us that Klopp decided to stick with the same lineup that he played on Tuesday night. Liverpool were the best they’ve been all season in that match. The offense is going to have to be as lively today as it was midweek.
Arsenal are going to be a massive test for the Reds today. This match is going to be the match of the weekend for sure. Check back in with us at LFC Globe for our post game recap.
