Olivier Giroud will lead the line for the Gunners
instead of the Chilean, while Dejan Lovren can only make the bench for
the hosts
Ozil, as reported on Friday , is currently battling with flu and is therefore absent for the Gunners, whereas Olivier Giroud has been preferred to Alexis in attack.
Dejan Lovren, meanwhile, has only managed to make Liverpool’s bench for Saturday’s hosting of Arsenal at Anfield having recovered from a knee injury.
Ragnar Klavan deputises for the Croatian alongside Joel Matip, with Lucas dropping to the bench.
It is the only change to the starting line-up following Monday’s 3-1 humiliation at Leicester City.
Jurgen Klopp is again without the services of his captain Jordan Henderson, who is nursing a foot problem.
Emre Can fills in for the skipper, while Daniel Sturridge is also ruled out through a hip strain.
Liverpool starting XI: Mignolet, Clyne, Matip, Klavan, Milner, Can, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Mane, Coutinho, Firmino.
Liverpool subs: Karius, Lovren, Moreno, Lucas, Alexander-Arnold, Woodburn, Origi.
Arsenal starting XI: Cech; Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Coquelin, Xhaka; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Iwobi, Welbeck; Giroud.
Arsenal subs: Ospina, Gibbs, Gabriel, Ramsey, Walcott, Alexis, Lucas.
