Liverpool vs. Arsenal | Premier League | Gameweek 36

 

Slot informed the media on Friday morning that Conor Bradley will start at right-back on Sunday in preparation for a post-Alexander-Arnold world; Joe Gomez, another possible replacement, is currently sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

After experimenting with a few periphery players at Stamford Bridge, Slot is anticipated to return to a more familiar team for Sunday's blockbuster, with the exception of Gomez and shoulder injury Tyler Morton.

Following George Boateng (384), Dennis Bergkamp (315), and Edwin van der Sar (313), the Liverpool captain is now on track to become just the fourth Dutchman to play 300 games in the Premier League after scoring his third goal of the season in his 299th appearance last weekend.

 

 

 

The return of Riccardo Calafiori and Jorginho to the team against PSG, together with the recovery of Martin Odegaard and Jurrien Timber from knocks they received during the Bournemouth thrashing, has also improved Arsenal's fitness position.

 

After a difficult game against PSG on Wednesday, Calafiori might even be a better choice on the left side than Myles Lewis-Skelly. However, the teenager should benefit from the former's lack of match preparation.

 

Kai Havertz (hamstring), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), Gabriel Jesus (knee), and Gabriel Magalhaes (hamstring) are still out, but the latter is still expected to play before the season ends.
