Liverpool make three changes for today's clash with Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.

Trent Alexander-Arnold returns in defence, while there are also starts for Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch.

Thiago Alcantara is named among the substitutes, as is Darwin Nunez. Dominik Szoboszlai will miss Liverpool’s match v Arsenal.

Thiago back and Szobo has taken his spot in the medical room.

Why do we name 2 keepers on the bench?

Come on Cody, prove me wrong, I haven't been his biggest fan of late (internally) but I am routing for ya!

Let's do this redmen, start strong and finish on a high!

YNWA

Why do we name 2 keepers on the bench?

“Our squad is thin” and we wouldn’t want to “waste the space”?

CORY, pity about Nunez

No Nunez will probably be needed at some point I feel.

Losing Dom again so soon is a bit of a blow.
Nunez on the bench - don't suppose the Boss willing to risk him for the full 90+.
Bit concerned about Grav too altho he wasn't too bad last time out - he just seems to play in fits and starts for me.
Cody needs his shooting boots.
Gutted for Bradley (R.I.P his Dad) - he had Martinelli in his pocket last time.

A little nervous (aren't I always) but a good quick high press start right in their faces would be awesome and a trip back up North with 3 points at the finish!

So annoying, think Arsenal have the advantage now. Midfield looks weak from us but need our attackers firing

Grav needs to step up

That side is significantly short of full strength. The 2 Dutch lads have a lot to prove here.

A wild Thiago has been spotted!

Abit stunned over nunez to be honest. At least he's on the bench.

I wonder if he will play Cody through the middle, Jota left and Luis on the right.

Dom missing is another blow. Its one in one out isn't it. Grav needs to be on it today.

gonna turn toxic at chavski ... 1-4 down lolol

Bit surprised Grav ahead of Harvey but Jürgen knows.

Klopp says Szob felt his hamstring again….. damn.

Klopp says Szob felt his hamstring again….. damn.

Not good. That's at least another 2 weeks out I imagine.

A wild Thiago has been spotted!

Don’t get too close you’ll scare him off.

Surprised Nunez not starting, maybe has a niggle?
TAA needs to be alive, Bradley has been great, condolences to him.
Elliot hasn't been v effective lately, and Grav has been mixed, again pity about Szobo.
Big game, Arse will be looking to win, which might suit us.
CMON BOYS!!!

Hmmmm, Not sure about Gakpo and Grav today. We sure gonna miss Szob in there and Nunez up top as well. Gonna make this somewhat tougher than it could have been. Suppose N¨nez nursing a sore foot and Szob been ill I hear. On this of all days 😱

So to late to change predictions, You've just gotta step up lads and secure my 7 points with a  0 : 3 win 🤜

Thiago makes up for Szobozlai’s absence.

Big blow that Dom is out and Nunez can only make the bench.

Point would be good.

Surprised Nunez not starting, maybe has a niggle?

His foot was swollen and had problems putting his boot on.

Up against it a bit. Got to press and cover..and..put the chances away. Might not even risk Nunez, unless absolutely necessary. Graver has to put a shift in. Jota might be our ace in the pack.

Got to love Nunez, apparently it happened in the first half and he played right through despite the pain. I bet he was knocking down the door to start today as well. Feel like we’ve had plenty of players in the past (and maybe 1 or 2 in the present) who would feel the pain and want a few weeks off.
