-------------------

This is it!

After convincingly dispatching one London top 4 rival, we head back home to prepare to dispatch another.

Arsenal have improved dramatically under Arteta of Legoland and their whole team look more dangerous and organised than they have for seasons.

But Liverpool look hungry for more success and this would be another marker on our way to No.20.

For me Clive:

Alisson

TAA
Fabinho
VVD
Robertson

Henderson
Thiago
Keita

Salah
Firmino
Mane

Subs Adrian, Gomez, Tsimikas, Milner, Wijnaldum, Jota, Minamino

[BigChief]

You cannot play this game without Gini. Thiago and Keita may be too open for my liking.

[Pablo]

Yeah I think Keita/Gini is the only real selection dilemma (until Gomez is fully fit). The rest of the team picks itself.

I'd pick Keita but I think Klopp will go with Gini.

Agree with that, other than the Gini/Naby issue.

Look at that bench though And no room for Jones!!!

I also think we looked as sound defensively as we have for a long time with Vurg and Fab.

[Shaggy]

Same. Keita has started the first two so he'll probably feel quite comfortable leaving him out of this one.

Time to put Arsenal back in their box.

Any word on Gomez? Will he be fit? If not then Fab at CB again.

Midfield of Thiago, Henderson and Gini

Rest of team picks itself.

[BobTheCharmer]

I don't think Thiago will start.

I fully expect Milner to come in as a curve ball choice.

Gomez back in training today so probably comes too soon?

[Buzzo]

What about Hendo? Is he definitely fit?

[Pablo]

I don't think Thiago will start.

I fully expect Milner to come in as a curve ball choice.

I just think he's too good not to. How can you possibly leave him out? I'd say he's nailed on to start.

[Buzzo]

World class and the player the entire coaching staff have been desperate to sign. I think he starts every big game like this.

[BobTheCharmer]

I just think he's too good not to. How can you possibly leave him out? I'd say he's nailed on to start.

Maybe you're confusing what I think will happen over what I want to happen. I'd 100% start Thiago.

[Shaggy]

I was dying to shoehorn Shaq onto the bench but it looked like he picked up a knock last night so that's probably him out for 8 months.

I absolutely love that lad, so talented and such a shame he's a crock. If fit regularly he'd make my bench more often than not.

[Pablo]

Maybe you're confusing what I think will happen over what I want to happen. I'd 100% start Thiago.

Not really, I'm just disagreeing and saying I think Klopp and the coaching staff will pick Thiago to start. He's too good not to start. Especially in a big game like this.

I think the fact he wasn't even on the bench last night is a clear indication he starts on Monday.

If I was Arteta I would 100% be expecting him to start and be planning around that. Good luck to him with that
