Liverpool team news vs Arsenal as Northern Ireland teen Conor Bradley named in squad

Northern Ireland teenager Conor Bradley has been named on the bench for Liverpool's Premier League clash with Arsenal.

Jurgen Klopp has named the 18-year-old defender as one of nine substitutes for Saturday evening's game at Anfield.

Co Tyrone star Bradley was recently on international duty with Northern Ireland for their World Cup qualifying double header against Lithuania and Italy.

Klopp handed Bradley his Liverpool debut in their Carabao Cup win over Norwich in September, having introduced the youngster to the senior squad during the summer tour of Austria.

The Liverpool boss is nursing a hefty injury list at present, with nine players injured or missing.

The list includes Roberto Firmino, Curtis Jones, Joe Gomez, Naby Keita, James Milner and Harvey Elliott.

They have no less than four Under 23 players named on the bench for the visit of the Gunners.

The Reds come into the game on the back of a 3-2 defeat to West Ham before the international break.

They currently sit fourth in the table, but defeat to Arsenal today will see them pushed out of the top four and the Champions League places.
