# These 2 players simply must start for Liverpool against Arsenal later today

***The Liverpool fans in the Transfer Tavern are eager for their side to secure another win against Arsenal this weekend…***

It has been a decent start to the season for the Reds, with Jurgen Klopp most recently leading his side back into the Champions League with a midweek victory over Hoffenheim.

It’s a big moment for Liverpool, as it signals a return to the big time for a club that has so often struggled to compete with the so-called Premier League ‘big boys’ in recent years.

Under Klopp, though, things seem to be changing – and there’s no better way to prove your quality than by securing a big win against a side like Arsenal.

The Gunners have, conversely, been on a mixed run of form, with a defeat to Stoke City creating a bit of cynicism amongst the fans in the Transfer Tavern.

Still, it’ll be a difficult game for Liverpool, and Jurgen Klopp must ensure that he picks a strong team to take on the tough test this weekend.

With that said, these 2 players simply must start for Liverpool against Arsenal later today…

## Mo Salah

Mo Salah scored once again against Hoffenheim, and he needs to be given the reigns to do the same at the Emirates.

He has made a fantastic start to life at Anfield, settling in very well, and alongside Sadio Mane – he looks deadly.

His electric pace will be giving the Arsenal defenders nightmares, and he’ll be a real goal threat this weekend.

## Andrew Robertson

Andrew Robertson didn’t start in the Champions League, but he needs to return to the team this weekend.

He made a fantastic start to life in a red shirt, and he looks to be a real coup for Liverpool.

Left-back has been a real problem area for the club for a while, and so he deserves a chance to impress.
