Liverpool face an important match against Arsenal with the opportunity to climb to the top of the Premier League for Christmas. Currently sitting in second place, Liverpool briefly held the top spot before a goalless draw with Manchester United ended their stint as leaders. Arsenal took their place and now the two teams are set to meet at Anfield in what promises to be an exciting clаsh.

Liverpool managed to regain some confidence with a 5-1 victory over West Ham in the Carabao Cup, scoring a total of 62 shots across their last two matches. Jurgen Klopp has called for a lively atmosphere from the fans to welcome the Gunners.

In terms of team news, there have been some ιnjury concerns for Liverpool in recent matches. Ryan Gravenberch, who missed the midweek game due to a hamstring issue, is expected to be available for the Arsenal match. Alexis Mac Allister, Diogo Jota, and Andy Robertson are getting closer to a return but won’t be ready in time for this game. Klopp mentioned that Robertson’s shoulder is still recovering, but the rest of his body is fine.

Some players, such as Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic, are slated to return in the New Year, while Joel Matip and Ben Doak have sustained season-ending injuries. Despite these absences, Klopp will have a strong squad to choose from for the Arsenal match.

The available squad for Liverpool against Arsenal includes goalkeepers Adrian, Alisson, and Caoimhin Kelleher. In defense, they have Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Jarell Quansah, Joe Gomez, Kostas Tsimikas, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk. The midfield options consist of Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, Harvey Elliott, Ryan Gravenberch, and Wataru Endo. In аttаck, Liverpool can rely on Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, and Luis Diaz.
