Fans would gladly take something comparable tonight, Im sure!

James Milner is saved for midfield.
Matters have been made rather more simple by Kostas Tsimikas being out.
Takumi Minamino has been excellent down the middle but hell need to move over to the right for this one, with Divock Origi central and Diogo Jota on the left.
My team (4-3-3): Adrian; N Williams, Gomez, R Williams, Milner; Jones, Grujic, Shaqiri; Minamino, Origi, Jota.
The midfield can be the exact same as the one against Lincoln, where Xherdan Shaqiri was excellent from a deeper role and Marko Grujic can have what is most likely to be a goodbye appearance.
In the middle, Joe Gomez ought to begin together with Rhys Williams. Arsenal went pretty strong against Leicester City last time out so the choice at half-time over who Fabinho changes can be based on how the video game is going. Adrian is in goal.
Ian Doyle: What is the point of picking a strong midfield and forward line if you arent going to do the exact same with the defence?
My midfield trio would be Marko Grujic, Curtis Jones and Milner with Diogo Jota, Takumi Minamino and Xherdan Shaqiri in the front 3.

Defence is the huge concern for Klopp tonight
My back five is Adrian, Neco Williams, Joe Gomez and a launching for Billy Koumetio. At left back, Im beginning Andy Robertson with Kostas Tsimikas hurt.
My team (4-3-3): Adrian; Williams, Gomez, Koumetio, Robertson; Grujic, Jones, Milner; Shaqiri, Minamino, Jota.
The other alternative is to switch Minamino and Origi – implying the latter would start on the extreme right for Liverpool for the very first time considering that … well, the very first time ever in fact. Toolbox wouldnt be expecting that.
Thats the poser with which Jurgen Klopp has actually certainly been grappling ahead of Liverpools Carabao Cup tie with Arsenal tonight.
James Milner is the call at left-back, with Neco Williams on the right.
Jota gets initially begin as Klopp rings changes
At the head of the field, Im keeping Harvey Elliott on the right while Takumi Minamino soft-pedals the middle and Diogo Jota is handed his first start for the Reds left wing.
Adrian begins in goal. Neco Williams plays at right-back and James Milner is available in on the left to offer Andy Robertson a rest with new signing Kostas Tsimikas suffering with injury.
Liverpools beginning XI that dominated Lincoln City in round 3 of the Carabao Cup was a totally various attire to the one we saw in both Premier League matches against Chelsea and Arsenal that bookended the 7-2 triumph.
Connor Dunn: All modification, please. All change.
In the midfield 3, Marko Grujic continues while Xherdan Shaqiri likewise keeps his place in the somewhat much deeper role as he did against Lincoln and Curtis Jones takes the final area.
In the heart of defence, I d like to see Virgil van Dijk continue – with Joel Matip still hurt – while Billy Koumetio comes in as his partner.
However, due to the strong nature of the Reds opposition there is a case to be made to put in more skilled gamers in some locations of the pitch – and a number of Liverpools first-rate stars will definitely be on the bench to alter the video game if needed – while there are a few choice problems that could impact the starting line-up.
And such is the method this season is going to play out, it makes total sense to carry out swathes of changes when again for Arsenals next check out, in round 4 of the League Cup on Thursday night.
My team (4-3-3): Adrian; Williams, Koumetio, Van Dijk, Milner; Grujic, Shaqiri, Jones; Elliott, Minamino, Jota
