GK: Brad Jones
Although he isn’t much of a replacement, Brad Jones is likely to keep the off-form Simon Mignolet out of the starting XI again this weekend.
DR: Glen Johnson
An experienced player who’ll need to be at his best for a game like this, Glen Johnson seems most likely to start at right-back for the Reds.
DL: Alberto Moreno
In and out of the Liverpool team this season, Alberto Moreno looks the best bet to make the starting lineup at left-back for this big match.

DC: Martin Skrtel
One of Liverpool’s most reliable defenders, Martin Skrtel is surely a certainty to start this game, and scored twice against Arsenal in this fixture last season.
DC: Kolo Toure
Against his old club, Kolo Toure is perhaps the best choice to start at centre-back after Dejan Lovren’s incredibly poor form this season.
MC: Steven Gerrard
Liverpool’s captain and leader, Steven Gerrard’s experience in the big games means he has to start this match despite being somewhat past his best this term.
MC: Jordan Henderson
Alongside Gerrard in midfield, Jordan Henderson needs a big game here as he looks to establish himself as a natural heir to Gerrard at Anfield.
AMR: Raheem Sterling
A player who tore Arsenal apart when they met in this fixture last season, Raheem Sterling should start on the right and will be hoping to cause the Gunners problems again.
AML: Lazar Markovic
After an improved display for Liverpool in the Capital One Cup this week, youngster Lazar Markovic could be worth starting in place of the off-form Philippe Coutinho.
AMC: Adam Lallana
Moving into a central role, Adam Lallana will be hoping to find an improvement in form as he looks to justify his £25m price tag.
FC: Mario Balotelli
Although Raheem Sterling played upfront to decent effect against Manchester United, Mario Balotelli may be worth a punt in this game as a genuine striking option.
