We are winning this, Klopp's tactics are so obvious that I am sure Wenger will take the proper steps to bring us the W. Pressing doesn't outright counter us like some of you seem to think.
With their injuries, a loss would be a travesty. Away or not.

Arteta Chambers
Ramsey Özil Campbell
Walcott
Bench: Ospina Debuchy (if not sold?), Mertersacker, Flamini, Owobi, Chamberlain, Giroud
Rest Giroud for this one as he's played a lot recently and because we'll probably play more on the counter away at Anfield which doesnt suit Olivier like it would Theo.

I think we'll get a draw.....not too confident sadly.
We'll need to let them have the ball and keep shape. Walcott needs to start at CF IMO. I'd go with an Ox-Theo-Campbell front 3. Midfield is problematic, I agree. Chambers-Ramsey the best we could do IMO.

The head to head Wenger v Klopp record so far:
Wenger's won 3, lost 2 & drawn 1.

I'd agree with this. Start with Theo and sit deep and go for the counter. Then if we need him, bring on Giroud in the last 30 minutes and give their tired CB's another problem.
I would prefer to start Flamini over Chambers. Flamini has more know how, more experience and I trust him more in big games. You never know, our tactic of having to sit deep might suit him and make up for his lack of speed.
The Ramsey and Flamini midfield only becomes problematic if we are trying to hold possession and dictate play. But if we are going to give them the ball and play on the counter, I think Rambo and Özil are more than enough to get some quick moves started and hopefully set the likes of Theo, Campbell and Ox free.

No Giroud for me. He's been stinky for too long now.
Cech
Bellerin Per Kos Monreal
Chambers Ramsey
Campbell Özil Ox
Theo
Chambers has done well at CM. Good to see him finding his feet again now that he's getting regular playing time.
1-1 or 2-0 to us.

A win at Anfield and the marker is well & truly laid down! Furthermore, a win sets us up in good spirits to march on Mordor.

Why in gods name would Arteta start such a big game, after only just coming back from injury? And being way down the pecking order too.

Too much optimism here. Although Liverpool are in bare bones, they will play a high pressing game and will shut off Mesut by sticking one of Lucas, Can or Allen right next to him.
Would love to have Theo through the middle as their pressing will leave spaces to exploit, but with their key CBs all missing, Giroud will find more space to link up with others.
I am hoping for a win, but I think this has a 1-1 draw written all over it.

That's an accident waiting to happen.. I mean look at that midfield, we're not at home - don't forget that.. I know Liverpool aren't that good especially with their current injuri situation, but it's still on Anfield.. We have enough offensive weapons to hurt them so please no Arteta, please.
Country: Australia
Neither am I, but we just got to force a disjointed win .

Hope we murder these ****s next week. A Utd like 20 minute blitz, in front of the kop would be sweet.

Hope we can deal with their high pressing game we've really struggled against teams who've done this.
Chambers looked very composed in midfield against sunderland, he'll be a better partner for ramesy imo

All four of Liverpool's starting CBs--Skrtel, Lovren, Sakho and Toure--are out injured and couldn't play against Exeter. Henderson, Coutinho, Ibe, Sturridge, Origi are also out injured. They don't have much player depth, and this injury crisis involves every part of the team, so it is hard to adjust tactics accordingly.
If your attackers are out injured you might play a bit more defensive. If a defender or two are out injured you might try to keep possession more and not throw too many defenders into the attack.
Liverpool's injury crisis kind of means they can't do either of these against us. They'll probably try to man mark Özil with Lucas, but we'll probably approach this match by being organized defensively and trying to catch them on the counter attack, but I doubt Liverpool's midfield of Lucas, Allen, Can, Lallana, and Firmino with Benteke in attack will be able to retain possession against for too long before turning it over.
If we score first then this match will get wide open and I wouldn't be surprised if we put at least 3 past them.
Lineup
Cech
Bellerin, Merts, Kos, Monreal
Flamini, Ramsey
Campbell, Özil, Ox,
Theo
Bench: Ospina, Gabriel, Gibbs, Chambers, Arteta, Giroud, Iwobi
Giroud is starting to look tired and he has started every match during Christmas, so I'd give him a breather. If we haven't taken the lead by the 60th minute I'd bring him on. Theo's looking sharp and his movement will create space for Campbell to score, and hopefully for Ox to do so as well. The kid really needs a goal.
In midfield we know Flamini and Ramsey will cover a lot of space. Flamini is usually up for the big matches. If Ramsey can make a tackle that launches a counterattack that could turn the match.
I expect us to be solid defensively and wait for our chances to pick them off on the counter.

Liverpool is fielding their reserves, some are young players, meaning they will be hungry to impress Klopp and their pressing style is very suited for young players.
We have to shock them early, make them lose confidence
1-0 to the Arsenal

It's going to be tough , they play a high pressing game if you don't keep shape when you lose the ball you get punished . I think we will be allright though . Got a feeling Arsène has had a conversation with a couple of players .
