Liverpool travels to the Emirates Stadium for a pivotal Premier League clash with Arsenal, with Arne Slot facing several key selection calls and a noteworthy decision over new signing Jeremie Frimpong. The game comes amid a tightly contested title race in which Arsenal currently looks the more settled side, but Liverpool still has the talent to cause serious problems.



In goal, Alisson Becker is certain to start, protected by a central defensive pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté. At full-back, Conor Bradley is expected to continue on the right after impressing recently, while the more experienced Andy Robertson is tipped to get the nod over Milos Kerkez on the left to provide leadership and balance in a hostile away environment.

Slot is likely to opt for a three-man midfield to compete with Arsenal’s strong central unit. Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai are favored to start, giving Liverpool a blend of energy, control, and forward thrust from deeper areas.

The major talking point is on the right side of the attack, where Slot must decide whether to start Frimpong in an advanced role. With Mohamed Salah absent on international duty and Hugo Ekitike doubtful through injury, Frimpong offers explosive pace and direct running from wide, potentially stretching Arsenal’s back line. On the opposite flank, Florian Wirtz is expected to start despite managing a minor hamstring issue, operating as a creative outlet cutting in from the left.

Through the middle, Cody Gakpo is set to lead the line after scoring against Fulham, acting as the focal point in a fluid front three. Overall, Slot’s predicted XI balances experience and dynamism, with the Frimpong decision emblematic of Liverpool’s attempt to adapt and stay dangerous despite absentees.
