Liverpool XI vs Arsenal: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today | OneFootball

Reds are without key man in attack for heavyweight title showdown in north London

Liverpool are without Diogo Jota for their Premier League showdown with Arsenal this afternoon.

The Liverpool forward missed the midweek 1-0 win away at RB Leipzig in the Champions League and Arne Slot confirmed he would not feature at Emirates Stadium.

Federico Chiesa, Alisson Becker, Harvey Elliott and Conor Bradley also remain sidelined.

“I think they feel good but not when it comes to playing for us during the weekend,” said Slot on Friday.

“Federico might train with us today or tomorrow - but Diogo definitely not. And Conor Bradley, let's see if he can be with us tomorrow."

Slot’s in-form Liverpool are top of the table and four points clear of the third-place Gunners heading into the match in north London, but this is their toughest test of the season so far.

Andy Robertson comes back into the side at left-back, after Kostas Tsimikas started in midweek.

Curtis Jones impressed against Chelsea last weekend and he gets the nod against, with Dominik Szoboszlai having to settle for a place on the bench.
