Liverpool’s lineup against Arsenal is expected to undergo two significant changes, with Jurgen Klopp contemplating a decision regarding Darwin Nunez.

 

As Liverpool aims to further solidify their position at the top of the Premier League table, they have been outperforming Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, leaving the Gunners struggling.

 

Klopp is considering a modification in the right-back position, and there might be another alteration in the attacking department due to Liverpool’s medical team’s recommendations.

 

The Reds are set to travel to north London this weekend in their quest to solidify their position at the summit of the Premier League, boasting a comfortable lead over both Arsenal and Man City.

 

This upcoming match is anticipated to be a challenging encounter for Klopp’s team; however, they approach their visit to the Emirates Stadium with an impressive track record, having recently dominated Chelsea at Anfield.

 

Furthermore, Klopp’s squad is experiencing an increase in numbers as injured players make their return, presenting the manager with what he refers to as a “luxury problem” during his pre-match press conference.

 

What is the ideal lineup for Liverpool against Arsenal?

 

Following Klopp’s press conference, the training session on Friday provided the following updates:

 

– Despite Klopp expressing concerns about a foot injury, Darwin Nunez is available for selection.

– Alexis Mac Allister has fully recovered from a knock to the knee suffered earlier in the week.

– Kostas Tsimikas and Thiago are both fit and actively participating in training.

– Unfortunately, Mo Salah (hamstring), Joel Matip (ACL), Stefan Bajcetic (calf), and Ben Doak (MCL) remain unavailable.

– However, Wataru Endo will be returning from the Asian Cup next week.

 

Unfortunately, there was later distressing news that Conor Bradley’s father passed away on Saturday morning, as reported by the Belfast Telegraph. This unfortunate event will most likely result in the right-back being unable to participate.

 

Liverpool’s squad during their training session on Friday consisted of the following players:

 

Goalkeepers: Alisson, Kelleher, Adrian, Mrozek

 

Defenders: Van Dijk, Konate, Gomez, Quansah, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Tsimikas, Bradley*

 

Midfielders: Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones, Thiago, Gravenberch, Elliott, McConnell, Clark

 

Forwards: Jota, Nunez, Diaz, Gakpo, Gordon.

 

Liverpool’s training session on Friday featured their talented squad, consisting of skilled players in various positions.

 

The goalkeepers present were Alisson, Kelleher, Adrian, and Mrozek, ensuring a strong defensive line. The defenders included Van Dijk, Konate, Gomez, Quansah, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Tsimikas, and Bradley*, providing a solid backline.

 

In midfield, the team had Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones, Thiago, Gravenberch, Elliott, McConnell, and Clark, showcasing their versatility and creativity.

 

The forward line comprised of Jota, Nunez, Diaz, Gakpo, and Gordon, offering a potent attacking force. However, if Nunez’s foot injury hinders his ability to start, Klopp may need to consider bringing in another attacker. In such a scenario, Cody Gakpo would be a suitable choice, as he has demonstrated his adaptability and effectiveness across various positions in the forward line.

 

Without any other changes anticipated, Liverpool’s potential lineup could be as follows:

 

Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones; Gakpo, Diaz, Jota

 

Despite the expanded range of choices at Klopp’s disposal, it remains relatively uncomplicated to forecast Liverpool’s formation against Arsenal.

 

The true advantage, however, may lie in Klopp’s capacity to make impactful substitutions, thereby enhancing the Reds’ prospects of securing a victory and gaining an edge in the title race.
