Liverpool have named the same side that beat Rangers for their trip to face Arsenal at the Emirates this afternoon.
It means a 4-2-3-1 formation with four attackers for the Reds, as Darwin Nunez leads the side and Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz also start alongside Mohamed Salah.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are without Arthur Melo for three to four months, while Curtis Jones and Andy Robertson also remain out.

That means Kostas Tsimikas continues at left-back, with Fabinho among the substitutes as Jordan Henderson partners Thiago in midfield.
Jones and Robertson have been sidelined with respective knee and leg injuries, with the former having not played a competitive match so far this season and the latter out since the Champions League drubbing by Napoli last month.

Liverpool remain without Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, while midfield colleague Arthur is also now sidelined with a muscular injury suffered in training before the win over Rangers in the Champions League in midweek.
Klopp was initially uncertain how much time the Juventus loanee would miss as he prepared to undergo further assessment, but reports now suggest that he needs surgery and will miss the rest of 2022 . “Curtis Jones was in training yesterday, it looked good , but that's now the first session.
He's then probably the closest,” the Reds boss said on Friday. “They’re in a good way, they do big sessions but Naby and Ox [are] still a little bit away. “We have one new injury, it's Arthur Melo.
In the last session before the Rangers game, in a normal situation he just injured a muscle.
We have to wait for further assessment to know exactly how long it will be but he's out. "Robbo is running a lot, looks like he's close.
Probably Curtis is now the closest, then Robbo and then the other two step by step." Liverpool XI : Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Henderson, Thiago, Salah, Jota, Diaz, Nunez.
Subs: Gomez, Fabinho, Konate, Milner, Firmino, Elliott, Carvalho, Phillips, Kelleher.
