Liverpool team news vs Arsenal: Predicted line up – Salah avoids ban, formation change
MOHAMED SALAH will be available for Liverpool's Premier League clash with Arsenal at Anfield on Saturday (5.30pm).
Emery: Match against Liverpool will be a ‘good test’
Mohamed Salah is expected to line up against Arsenal at Anfield this weekend after avoiding a ban following an incident last time out against Newcastle.
The Egyptian forward has been criticised for winning a penalty after going to ground easily under the challenge of Paul Dummett.

Salah exaggerated the impact when the Magpies defender made contact, although the Reds star has avoided retrospective action following an FA disciplinary panel meeting.
Jurgen Klopp’s side went on to win the match 4-0, stretching their lead at the top of the Premier League to six points with Manchester City losing to Leicester.
Next up for Liverpool is a visit from Arsenal, and Salah is expected to form a three-pronged attack alongside Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
The Reds are likely to revert to a three-man midfield in search of greater defensive solidity, having opted for a more fluid 4-2-3-1 last time out.
Xherdan Shaqiri will therefore drop to the bench despite his goal against Newcastle, while James Milner could miss out entirely due to injury.
The veteran midfielder has suffered a muscle injury so two of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Naby Keita are likely to line up alongside Georginio Wijnaldum.
Trent Alexander-Arnold returned at right-back on Boxing Day and should continue at the expense of Nathaniel Clyne.
Meanwhile, Dejan Lovren will partner Virgil van Dijk with Joel Matip and Joe Gomez still sidelined.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remains a long-term absentee, although the England international was pictured doing some light training last week.
Arsenal head into the match with just one win in their past four matches across all competitions, 13 points behind Liverpool in the table.

(4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Wijnaldum, Keita; Salah, Mane, Firmino
