The premier league will return from next weekend with a cracking contest between Arsenal and Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.
Last season, in the league, Arsenal defeated Liverpool 2-0 thanks to goals from Cazorla and Ramsey. Gunners also defeated the Reds in the FA Cup at home.
However, Liverpool ripped them apart 5-1 at Anfield and that result dismantled Arsenal’s last season as the Gunners finished fourth.
North Londoners have a chance now to seriously dent Liverpool’s chances of qualifying for Champions League next season. A defeat for the merseysiders will be disastrous.
Reds will be without their captain Steven Gerrard and leader of defense Martin Skrtel, both suspended for 3 games for their actions against United.
Sturridge and Lallana are out injured as well so Brendan Rodgers will have to make more than a few changes to the line up that started against United. Lovren may return as per PhysioRoom. Allen has been in decent form but Lucas Leiva can get the nod as well.
Expect Lazar Markovic to come in Liverpool’s attack and Glen Johnson to cover as the right wing back. Sterling should start as a lone striker up front where he has been highly effective as compared to the wide position.
Mario Balotelli scored a wonder goal in the charity match but that should not really be something to get him a starting place. The Italian should start on the bench.
Here is Liverpool’s strongest starting XI to face Arsenal.

Any Liverpool side with Allen playing instead of Lucas is hardly the strongest.
