Dejan Lovren is back in the Liverpool squad after recovering from a knee injury but he’s only fit enough for the bench so Ragnar Klavan starts in defence in what is the only change from the side that lost to Leicester.

As for Arsenal, Arsene Wenger is without Mesut Ozil through illness but the Frenchman has surprisingly left Alexis Sanchez on the bench with Olivier Giroud starting up front.
