Liverpool manager Arne Slot is expected to field a strong line-up against Arsenal as the Reds return to Anfield for the first time since being crowned Premier League champions.

A weaker team at Chelsea last time out led to a 3-1 defeat and Slot has confirmed further changes will be made for the visit of Arsenal, who are smarting from their Champions League exit.

Following confirmation of his impending exit at the end of the season, Trent Alexander-Arnold will be replaced by Conor Bradley. Slot told reporters on Friday: "Conor will start, he needs playing time, games under his belt to be prepared for next season."

But the Reds manager was tight-lipped on other tweaks, adding: "There are a lot of influences on decisions I make and one of them is losing. I am not looking to lose all four but more things go into a line-up than losing or rotating, so we will see."

Luis Diaz was rested for the defeat at Chelsea, so should come back in as Diogo Jota drops out. Harvey Elliott is also likely to lose his spot, with Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alex Mac Allister all pushing to return.

Jarrell Quansah again failed to impress while deputising for Ibrahim Konate, who will surely come back in. Slot has called on Quansah to show more "consistency in his performances" so left the door open for further minutes. Joe Gomez remains out injured.

Liverpool predicted XI: Alisson, Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Jones, Salah, Diaz Gakpo

Injured: Gomez

Time and date: 4.30pm on Sunday, May 11, 2025

Venue: Anfield
