Dream11 Fantasy Soccer: Arsenal v. Liverpool Preview

This article is part of our Dream11 Fantasy Soccer series.

Game Preview

Arsenal have their backs against the wall, but they still have a shot at playing in next year's UEFA Europa League despite sitting in ninth place with just three games left. The Gunners are vying for a top-6 finish but have a daunting task ahead of them as they'll take on the league champions. As for Liverpool, they are still trying to make history, so don't expect them to just give up with only three games left. The Reds will fall short of the 100-point threshold, but hitting 99 would be an iconic season no matter what. Considering Jurgen Klopp doesn't give away games when he has nothing to play for, expect him to play a full-strength side for this trip to the Emirates Stadium. It's worth noting both sides arrive into this game having won three of their last five league matches.

Top Picks

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool: Few players have been involved in as many goals as Salah in the current Premier League season, as the Egypt star has 19 goals and nine assists. He is a threat every time he takes the pitch, and he should be the focal point of Liverpool's attack against a team that will be missing their starting goalkeeper.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal: Aubameyang ranks as the league's second-best scorer with 20 goals, and he is just three behind Jamie Vardy for the Golden Boot. That might be too much ground to cover for most players, but not for the Gabon international, who's almost a lock to score at least 20 goals per season regardless which team he is playing for.

Captain and Vice-Captain Options

  1. Mohamed Salah
  2. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
  3. Sadio Mane
  4. Trent Alexander-Arnold
