Jürgen Klopp had announced it. Roberto Firmino was back to play and the Liverpool coach has not hesitated to line him up as a starter in the important duel against Arsenal.
The ‘reds’ need a victory over the ‘gunners’ to continue fighting to play in European competition next year. With 46 points, they are three from the fifth place and five from the fourth that gives access to the Champions League.
Chelsea's stumble is an excellent opportunity to cut back the lost ground, so Klopp comes out with everything (Salah, Mané and Firmino) to get the win.
Meanwhile, Arteta introduces Pépé on the far right and Dani Ceballos on the double pivot.
Lineups:
Arsenal: Leno; Chambers, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Thomas, Ceballos; Pépé, Ödegaard, Aubameyang; Lacazette.
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Kabak, Robertson; Thiago, Fabinho, Milner; Salah, Firmino and Mané.
