Don Hutchison on Liverpool against Arsenal
The former West Ham midfielder has chosen a familiar back four and front three for Liverpool, with Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum lining up in the midfield.
“If I’m picking my strongest XI, if I’m Jurgen Klopp, this is it in my opinion,” Hutchison told Premier League Productions.
“When you look at the back four they more or less speak for themselves.

Liverpool will be top of the Premier League if they beat Arsenal at Anfield (Image: GETTY)
“When you look at that side, you look at it when they go forward with so much speed and power, and on their day they’re going to rip anyone apart, as Arsenal have been victim of over the years.
“So I think for Unai Emery, when you try and combat how you’re going to stop Liverpool, especially at Anfield, that’s a tough ask.”
Liverpool’s starting XI against Arsenal according to Hutchison: Adrian, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane.
Klopp did indeed end up selecting the XI Hutchison suggested.
