Is French coach just select players base on past history or on current form?
If current form how come COQ did not make french selection?The boy has been balling sha and it does not make sense that he did not make the 23 players selection and likes of Sagna make the cut.

For Arsenal's sake, I like Coq not being selected.

When Liverpool and Arsenal last met -- a 2-2 draw that could have gone either way -- the Reds dominated the midfield. Sure, that Arsenal midfield included a deep lying Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and an off-the-pace Mathieu Flamini, but the feat was still impressive. And it can be repeated.

In Liverpool's first encounter with Arsenal, Philippe Coutinho, Raheem Sterling and Adam Lallana successfully filtered through the attacking midfield to pressure Flamini, who was isolated whenever Oxlade-Chamberlain pushed upfield.

This highlighted Liverpool's fluency in the central midfield -- the team's creative players caused problems as they darted in and out of the space in front of Arsenal's defense.

Even with improved health, the defensive midfield remains a weakness for Arsenal and an area that the Reds can exploit once again. In their last match Arsene Wenger asked Aaron Ramsey and Francis Coquelin (and later Flamini) to protect his defense, which barely succeeded against a Newcastle side that is 17th in the league over its last six matches.

The issue for Arsenal is not just personnel based. Like Liverpool, Arsene Wenger's side enjoys positive football with attack-minded midfielders, and this mindset sometimes leaves the back line exposed.

Rodgers cannot perfectly replicate his tactics to take advantage of Arsenal's weakness -- injuries have removed this possibility -- so he will have to be creative. Last time around, he used a two-man defensive midfield of Gerrard and Lucas to free up Coutinho and Lallana in the attacking midfield. Henderson will likely be the one to replace Gerrard next Saturday, and if Rodgers continues to utilize the same midfield set up, then a protective duo of Henderson and Lucas could provide excellent cover for a back line missing Skrtel while still supporting the attack.

Lucas' positioning will dictate the shape of Liverpool's midfield against Arsenal. While the two-man defensive midfield that was used in the reverse fixture presents one option for Rodgers, he could easily shift to the diamond with Lucas playing as the deepest midfielder and Henderson and Joe Allen (or even Emre Can) in front of him in an attempt to further flood the center of the pitch.

The return of Lucas comes at a perfect time for Liverpool, and he'll play an essential role in the match against Arsenal whether he operates in a partnership with Henderson or as a lone midfield anchor. He adds strength and defensive awareness to the midfield, and his presence should allow his teammates to press more aggressively.

Martin Skrtel's suspension presents another headache for Rodgers, as the Slovak center back has been extremely effective in recent months as the deepest man in Liverpool's back line.

There are many possibilities for Rodgers even within the three-man defense. If he continues to use three in the back, he must choose between Kolo Toure and Dejan Lovren to replace Skrtel in the starting eleven, and then he has to decide which player to play in the deep role that Skrtel has occupied.

There's also a slight chance that Rodgers rolls with a back four (which could happen if he uses the diamond). In such a situation, the manager would have to consider whether Emre Can is able to play as part of center back partnership with Mamadou Sakho, or if he would be better suited to move up to the midfield, opening up a whole new can of juicy tactical worms.
