Arsenalvs.Liverpool

sportsmole.co.uk, 24 October 2024, 05:30
Liverpool can open up a healthy seven-point advantage over Premier League title rivals Arsenal in Sunday's main event at the Emirates Stadium.

The Arne Slot machine is still whirring at Anfield, where the Reds edged out Chelsea 2-1 in last weekend's top-flight affair thanks to Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones's efforts.

Boasting 21 points from eight games as they sit at the top of the standings, Liverpool also made it nine points from nine in the Champions League in midweek, labouring to a 1-0 success over RB Leipzig.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Arsenal, who were 1-0 winners over Shakhtar Donetsk in their last European affair.

Diogo Jota

Status: Out

Type of injury: Abdominal

Possible return date: Unknown

Diogo Jota suffered a whack to his side in the first half of the win over Chelsea and missed the Leipzig win as a result; Slot is unsure when he will be fit again, but an appearance this weekend is thought to be off the cards.

Alisson Becker

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: November 24 (vs. Southampton)

Alisson Becker will be sidelined for another few weeks due to his hamstring injury, but Liverpool are in safe hands with Caoimhin Kelleher, who was one of the stars of the show against Leipzig.

Federico Chiesa

Status: Out

Type of injury: Fitness

Possible return date: Unknown

Slot provided a bit more detail into Federico Chiesa's recent layoff before the Leipzig game, explaining that the summer signing was simply building up his fitness and adjusting to a new league after a pre-season with no football, so it is not clear when he will be considered for selection again.

Harvey Elliott

Status: Out

Type of injury: Foot

Possible return date: November 9 (vs. Aston Villa)

Harvey Elliott is making positive strides in his recovery from a foot fracture, but the England Under-21 international is not expected to be back in action for another couple of weeks yet.

Conor Bradley

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: October 27 (vs. Arsenal)

Conor Bradley has been absent from Liverpool's last two games for unexplained reasons, and his availability for the trip to Arsenal remains clouded in uncertainty.

LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Unlike their hosts, who must do without William Saliba, Liverpool have no players suspended for this match.
