Shaqiri Out As Klopp Makes 2 Changes | Expected Liverpool Line-Up vs Arsenal

Liverpool will look to tighten their grip at the top of the table with a win when they take on Arsenal at Anfield on Saturday evening. Here is the team we think Jurgen Klopp will select:

Goalkeeper: There is no doubt who will start in goal this weekend as Alisson is certain to keep his place between the sticks with Simon Mignolet on the bench once again.

Defence: Klopp is also unlikely to tinker too much with his defence as Joel Matip remains out with a broken collarbone while Joe Gomez is still working his way back to full fitness from a fractured leg so Dejan Lovren is set to continue alongside Virgil van Dijk in the middle of the back four. The Croatian international has been in good form of late and scored a superb goal against Newcastle so he should be in confident mood ahead of Arsenal’s visit on Saturday.

I don’t think we’ll see any change at left-back with Andrew Robertson keeping his place ahead of Alberto Moreno while Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to start once again at right-back. Nathaniel Clyne is an option if Klopp wants to rotate but James Milner could miss out with a muscle issue.

Midfield: The versatile Milner was forced to miss the win over Newcastle on Boxing Day and remains a doubt for the Arsenal clash so he’s unlikely to be risked ahead of the crucial showdown with Manchester City.
