# Liverpool announce lineup vs Arsenal as Trey Nyoni gets surprise start

**Liverpool have named a strong lineup for their Premier League clash against Arsenal at Anfield.**

Andoni Iraola hasn’t made too many changes to the team that has served him so well in recent weeks, but there are a few interesting talking points.

Dom Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz are back on the bench after missing their last few games across all competitions.

However, the headline team news involves Trey Nyoni, who is set to make his first-ever Premier League start vs Arsenal.

Nyoni has featured regularly under Iraola this season, predominantly as a substitute.

However, after his sensational display against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, the young Englishman has been chosen to play at the heart of the midfield alongside Alexis Mac Allister.

Otherwise, the Liverpool lineup essentially picks itself, with Cody Gakpo, Bradley Barcola, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak starting in attack.

**Liverpool XI vs Arsenal:** Alisson Becker, Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez, Alexis Mac Allister, Trey Nyoni, Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola, Alexander Isak

**Arsenal XI vs Liverpool:** David Raya, Jurrien Timber, Ezri Konsa, Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori, Bruno Guimaraes, Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz, Christos Tzolis
