Team News: Alexis Sanchez starts for Arsenal at Anfield

Sanchez starts for Arsenal at Anfield

Unsettled attacker Alexis Sanchez has been named in the Arsenal XI for their trip to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Sanchez has not featured for the Gunners this season due to a calf problem, but the Chilean, who continues to be linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium, has been given the nod at Anfield.

Mesut Ozil and Danny Welbeck also start, meaning that record signing Alexandre Lacazette starts on the bench alongside Olivier Giroud.

As for Liverpool, Philippe Coutinho misses out once again, meaning that Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Said Mane continue as the front three in a 4-3-3 formation.

Joe Gomez, meanwhile, is given the nod over Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back.

Liverpool: Karius; Gomez, Matip, Lovren, Moreno; Can, Wijnaldum, Henderson; Salah, Firmino, Mane Subs: Ward, Klavan, Alexander-Arnold, Grujic, Milner, Solanke, Sturridge

Arsenal: Cech; Holding, Koscielny, Monreal; Bellerin, Xhaka, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Ozil, Sanchez, Welbeck Subs: Ospina, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Coquelin, Walcott, Lacazette, Giroud
