Liverpool will take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening hoping to return to winning ways in the Premier League. The Reds dropped their first points of the season at home to Burnley last weekend. Therefore, we can expect them to come back with a much improved performance versus the Gunners in midweek.
Jurgen Klopp will stick with his preferred 4-3-3 formation and might make a couple of tweaks to his first-team for this upcoming league encounter at the English capital.
4-3-3 Liverpool Predicted Lineup To Face Arsenal
Defence
Alisson Becker will continue to feature in between the sticks for the Merseyside outfit despite failing to secure a clean sheet in each of his last two outings in the Premier League. Virgil Van Dijk will once again play alongside Joe Gomez at the heart of Klopp’s defence as they both try to keep things solid at the back versus the North London outfit in midweek.
Trent Alexander-Arnold had been rested against the Clarets last weekend, so he should be fresh to start at right-back. Andrew Robertson will look to build on his goal-scoring performance on Saturday by producing another industrious display as the left-back. Klopp will instruct both his full-backs to join in on the attack at every chance they can get so that the Liverpool forwards get some decent service up top.
Midfield
The Merseyside outfit’s midfield will be comprised of Georginio Wijnaldum, Fabinho and Naby Keita as Klopp looks to revert to his strongest available midfield options for this highly anticipated showdown at the Emirates Stadium. All three midfielders will try to work their socks off towards establishing Liverpool’s dominance at the centre of the park.
James Milner is a significant concern for this game, but Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be available for selection on the bench.
Attack
Mohamed Salah is a nailed-on starter on the right flank as he is still fighting for the golden boot award. Sadio Mane will focus on getting in behind the Arsenal backline down the left-wing and Roberto Firmino will be responsible for orchestrating some decent chances to score while operating in and around the opposition penalty box.
Both Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi will have to settle for a spot on the bench. However, they might come on to influence the game as the impact substitutes if Klopp decides to call upon their services.
