How Liverpool could line up against Arsenal

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Thursday's EFL Cup semi-final first leg against Arsenal.

Liverpool only have one confirmed COVID-19 case ahead of their rescheduled EFL Cup semi-final first leg with Arsenal at Anfield on Thursday night.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is the only player to have been affected by the Reds' previous COVID-19 cluster, with a number of those tests now turning out to be false positives, but the right-back has trained ahead of this game.

Alisson Becker ought to return from his own coronavirus absence, but Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Naby Keita, Thiago Alcantara, Harvey Elliott, Divock Origi and Nat Phillips are all absent.

It would be harsh to see Caoimhin Kelleher dropped for this encounter, but Jurgen Klopp will certainly consider recalling Alisson for a semi-final.

Joel Matip could also displace Ibrahima Konate given the importance of the encounter, but there should be scope for Conor Bradley and Kostas Tsimikas to start in the full-back areas.

Tyler Morton played the full 90 minutes at the weekend and could therefore drop out for the returning Curtis Jones, as Jordan Henderson and Fabinho complete a formidable midfield.

Kaide Gordon can feel hopeful of another start on the right-hand side, as Diogo Jota and Takumi Minamino aim to return to the frontline, in spite of Roberto Firmino's delightful backheel against Shrewsbury Town.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Bradley, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Henderson, Fabinho, Jones; Gordon, Jota, Minamino
