[Teams] Liverpool vs Arsenal: Confirmed Line-Ups

Liverpool welcome top four rivals Arsenal to Anfield this afternoon for this weekends blockbuster clash.

Brendan Rodgers is without Mario Balotelli after he was slapped with a one-match ban so with Daniel Sturridge still out, Raheem Sterling continues up front.

Dejan Lovren failed a late fitness test on a groin injury so Mamadou Sakho starts at the back along with Kolo Toure and Martin Skrtel.

The Gunners have been boosted by the news that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has passed a late fitness test and starts in midfield alongside Mathieu Flamini and Santi Cazorla.

Calum Chambers returns in defence after a one-match ban with Mathieu Debuchy reverting to right-back.

Here are the confirmed line-ups:

Liverpool

Jones, Toure, Skrtel, Sakho, Lucas, Henderson, Markovic, Coutinho, Gerrard, Lallana, Sterling

Subs: Mignolet, Enrique, Lambert, Moreno, Manquillo, Can, Borini

Szczesny, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Chambers, Gibbs, Flamini, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Alexis, Giroud, Welbeck
