Robertson will replace Tsimikas | Liverpool XI vs Arsenal Prediction
Liverpool had a very hard-fought success Chelsea in it first division last weekend, courtesy of goals from Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah. The Reds are back in the Premier League after defeating RB Leipzig in midweek in the champions leaguewith a match against Arsenal scheduled for Sunday, October 27 at Emirates Stadium.
The first in the table will seek to displace the title contenders and open a significant gap over them by retaining first place. That said, here's a look at the team Arne Slot will likely employ against Mikel Artetafrom the side.
Goalkeeper – Caoimhin Kelleher will keep his place between the sticks. He's been playing regular minutes lately following Alisson Becker's injury and, as a result, will play his third straight game on Sunday.
Defenders – Trent Alexander-Arnold He is a sure starter at right-back, while Andy Robertson is likely to replace Kostas Tsimikas on the left, Slot's only change in defense since the Leipzig win.
Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate will continue to play as central defenders for Liverpool against Arsenal, retaining their places from Wednesday's Champions League match in the process.
Núñez will start as a forward
Midfielders – Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch will play in a double pivot. They started together against Leipzig for the first time in two games and will likely be preferred to Curtis Jones, who will also be out of an attacking role with Dominik Szoboszlai favored to start as Liverpool's number 10.
Mohamed Salah will play on the right wing against Arsenal after scoring and assisting against Chelsea last weekend. On the left, there is expected to be a change, as Luis Díaz could replace Cody Gakpo after the Dutchman's run of two mediocre outings.
Forward – Darwin Nunez was Liverpool's winning goal at the Red Bull Arena on Wednesday and will retain his place as the team's only striker. Diogo Jota is injured and will not be ready in time for the clash against Arsenal.
Here's a look at what Liverpool are expected to look like on paper:
