Liverpool will entertain Arsenal at Anfield this Sunday as they look to secure a positive result at home in the Premier League. The Reds managed to secure a win on penalties against Chelsea in the EFL Cup recently, which should keep them in good spirits going into this game.
Andoni Iraola will set his players up in a 4-2-3-1 formation once again and is expected to revert to his strong first team for this clash. Allison Becker, Jeremy Jacquet and Alexander Isak could all play from the start of this game.
Alisson Becker will feature in goal for the Reds after he was rested in midweek. Jeremy Jacquet will resume his partnership with Virgil Van Dijk at the heart of the Liverpool backline as they focus on keeping things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.
Ronald Araujo will be a nailed-on starter at right-back, while Milos Kerkez looks to give a good account of himself on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Joe Gomez will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister will anchor the midfield for the Merseyside club as they focus on establishing their dominance over the opposition in the middle of the park.
The gifted trio of Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola will operate just ahead of them as part of Iraola's attack. All three of them need to combine well on the offensive end of the field if Liverpool want to taste victory at Anfield this weekend.
Trey Nyoni, Wataru Endo and Rio Ngumoha will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Alexander Isak will spearhead Iraola's attack in the final third. He would have to carry most of the goal-scoring workload for the Reds up top.
Lewis Koumas will make up the numbers on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if the Merseyside club are in need of a goal by then.
