Team Selection will be interesting for this game.Can & Mane will/should start this game although personally think Mane hasn't been in great form since came back from injury.Arsenal bottled it at Anfield earlier in season so can see a different performance this time.If our Back Line do there job properly then we are capable of winning this game.
I wouldn't be massively surprised if we won this game 5 nil. Similarly I would not be shocked if we lost the game, I think the point I'm getting at is that I've no idea how it's going to go. Expect full strength squad though, interested to see if Can comes back in for Ox.
Remember the days when we used pray Sturridge was actually fit for us as he was our only threat up top? Couldn't care less nowadays whether he's in squad or not How things have changed so dramatically in the 2 years since Klopps arrival.
Can’t remember exactly what Klopp said about Moreno after the Sevilla game but got the feeling it was along the line playing against his old side was a bad idea and why I think Ox might start from the bench
I'd love to see Oxlade-Chamberlain in there tonight. Straight in to these from the off. 2-0 Liverpool.
I think a frantic game suits us down to the ground, Arsenal hate when things get out of shape and we're at our devastating best in broken play. Go for the throat from the start, lets give Ox a taste of what it's like to be in on the right side of an Arsenal hammering from Liverpool. Play this one at 100 miles an hour and we'll tear them to shreds. Ozil and Sanchez are their big hopes, if you kill off hope early they won't be interested in a fight. Great start to the Christmas weekend having this game tonight..
No real fear about this fixture. The teams that do well against us these days play a style of football that Wenger is incapable of playing. Will be an interesting team selection. I have a feeling Milner will be given a go in midfield alongside Henderson and Coutinho with the usual 3 up front....but that means no start for the likes of the Ox or Wijnaldum who have both been solid in recent games, or Lallana who must be itching to get back in. These are exactly the type of selection problems we want to have!
I would not drop Lallana into this game, our pace and intensity is what we need to focus on tonight and he's just not got that match sharpness yet. I'd leave Millie out too in honesty, think it would slow us down a bit. Frankly if Klopp think's he can handle it Ox might be the man for the job but I could see justification for not throwing him in there so soon when he's just starting to find his feet. Can, Wjinaldum and Hendo looks the most likely with Mane rested again but if Mane comes in and Coutinho is in the middle then it's gung ho from start to finish from us. I'm not worried about this game, we might lose it still but there's no real fear when playing Arsenal anymore which says it all about where the club is at.
Would love to see Mane, Firmino and Salah as a front 3, the midfield of Henderson, Coutinho and Chamberlain, with Gomez, Lovren, Klavan and Robertson as the back four. Arsenal don't have the most solid defence and not the most combative midfield so go for it with them. No Giroud up front and I think Sanchez and Ozil can be marshaled well enough by Henderson, Chamberlain and that back 4 to allow the fab four do the damage. High tempo and we should be able to get goals.
Some amount of optimism playing at a ground where we haven't had a huge amount of success in down the years.Score an early goal and I'd fancy us to win comfortably. Concede one and it could be a long night. Just hope that Mignolet isn't near as busy as De Gea was the other week. If he is we might be in trouble.
Our back 4 is better than theirs. Our midfield 3 is better than theirs. Our front 3 is better than theirs. Don't fuck it up Ming.
