Liverpool XI vs Arsenal: Confirmed team news and substitutes

James Milner returns for Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp makes three changes to his starting XI for this evening's clash with Arsenal.

The midfielder missed out on last week's comfortable wins over Red Star Belgrade and Cardiff City, being named on the bench for both fixtures, but is restored to line-up as the Reds look to reclaim top spot in the Premier League.

Joe Gomez and Andy Robertson also come back into the visitors' team after missing last weekend's victory against Cardiff, with Dejan Lovren - who is absent from the squad - and Alberto Moreno making way as a result.

Liverpool are otherwise unchanged from that fixture, with Fabinho making a third consecutive start for the club for the first time since his summer move from AS Monaco.

That means Xherdan Shaqiri misses out on a start despite his recent good form, though the Swiss is available to Klopp from the bench should he be required.

Arsenal: Leno, Bellerin, Holding, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette

Subs: Cech, Ramsey, Lichtsteiner, Maitland-Niles, Iwobi, Welbeck, Smith-Rowe

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Milner, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Mane

Subs: Sturridge, Moreno, Lallana, Mignolet, Shaqiri, Origi, Matip

Referee: Andre Marriner (West Midlands)
