Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been named among the Liverpool substitutes on his first game at the Emirates Stadium since leaving Arsenal.
The England international completed a £40million switch to Anfield on deadline day in August after opting not to sign a new contract having played his final game for Arsenal in a humiliating 4-0 drubbing away to Liverpool.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is unlikely to get a hero’s welcome on his return to north London but will be desperate to prove his worth after his former manager Arsene Wenger questioned whether he was guaranteed a starting spot in Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Shkodran Mustafi is on the bench after missing the last three league games with a thigh injury, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles starts in what will be a big test for the youngster against Liverpool's free-flowing attack.
Arsenal starting XI: Cech; Bellerin, Koscielny, Monreal, Maitland-Niles; Xhaka, Wilshere; Iwobi, Ozil, Sanchez; Lacazette
Substitutes: Ospina, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Coquelin, Elneny, Walcott, Welbeck
Liverpool starting XI: Mignolet, Gomez, Klavan, Lovren, Robertson, Henderson, Can, Coutinho, Mane, Salah, Firmino
Substitutes: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wijnaldum, Milner, Solanke
