We can now confirm the starting XIs for today’s Premier League clash with Liverpool.
Ange Postecoglou has made one change to the side which started Sunday’s north London derby with Richarlison coming in for Brennan Johnson, who was ruled out of the fixture by our Head Coach in his team news update on Friday.
With a place in the matchday squad opening up through Johnson’s injury, Jamie Donley – a young forward who has enjoyed a strong start to the season for our Under-21s scoring five and assisting seven goals so far this term – takes his place in a first team matchday squad for the first time. Ashley Phillips also returns to the squad, taking a place amongst our substitutes.
Starting XI: Vicario, Pedro Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bissouma, Sarr, Maddison, Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son (c).
Substitutes: Forster, Royal, Davies, Phillips, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Solomon, Donley, Veliz.
The visitors meanwhile line up as follow...
Starting XI: Alisson, Robertson, Van Dijk (c), Matip, Gomez, Mac Allister, Jones, Szoboszlai, Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
Substitutes: Kelleher, Tsimikas, Konate, Quansah, Alexander-Arnold, Gravenberch, Elilott, Jota, Nunez.
