And Mo Salah is deemed fit enough to only make the bench after suffering a foot injury on the south coast.

Salah, who has scored 28 goals in all competitions this season, is replaced by Diogo Jota.

The Portuguese has bagged six times in as many games when facing Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Thiago Alcantara comes in for Naby Keita in midfield.
