Liverpool v Arsenal: match preview

This article is more than 6 years old

Alexis Sánchez is set for his first appearance of the season and Laurent Koscielny is also available after suspension. Arsenal, on the evidence of their defeat at Stoke City plus Liverpool’s attacking display against Hoffenheim, need both back immediately. Jürgen Klopp’s side recorded a league double over them last season, scoring seven times. The form of Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mané even without the service of Philippe Coutinho looks ominous for a visiting defence who, for all the talk at the end of last season, have changed little.
