Liverpool team vs Arsenal

Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool starting eleven for tonight’s Premier League clash against Arsenal at Anfield.

Fabinho moves back into midfield alongside Gini Wijnaldum and Naby Keita, while Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane return in attack.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Keita, Mane, Salah, Firmino.
