da doce: Liverpool face a tough test on Saturday as they travel to the Emirates Stadium to meet in-form Arsenal in a Premier League clash. Jurgen Klopp’s side will have to be at their best if they’re to secure the three points they need to keep pace with title favourites Manchester City.
However, the Gunners can hurt the Reds and the German coach will be wary of the threat Unai Emery’s side pose. In order to ensure that they take the three points back to Anfield, Liverpool must win the midfield battle on Saturday.
Competing in the centre of the park against Arsenal relies upon Klopp getting his midfield three selection right. With Fabinho, James Milner, Georginio Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson, Xherdan Shaqiri, Naby Keita and Adam Lallana all to choose from the manager certainly has some big decisions to make.
Football FanCast readers who voted in our poll have selected Fabinho, the resurgent Wijnaldum and Shaqiri as their preferred trio. That selection ought to offer a good blend of defensive discipline and attacking intent.
Meanwhile, club captain Henderson and summer signing Keita have been ruled out through injury, as confirmed by the club’s official website, whilst 5ft 8in tall man Lallana was the player Reds fans are least keen to see in the starting XI against the Gunners. See the full results below.
