Team news

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is sweating from the fitness of goalkeeper Alisson, who suffered a blow in training over the weekend. Thiago may also have to wait to make his full debut, but he will have a late fitness test. With Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all set to miss, the return of Joe Gomez is a boost for Klopp and that should see Fabinho return to midfield after his impressive performance in midfield against Chelsea. Joel Matip is not expected to return until after the October international break.

 

Kieran Tierney and Cedric Soares face late physical fitness tests for Arsenal, though only the former likely started at Anfield. David Luiz is available after sustaining a neck injury prior to the first weekend of the campaign and played the full 90 midweek, adding to Mikel Arteta's defensive ranks, particularly with Shkodran Mustafi and Calum Chambers still out. . Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli fail again, while Sokratis is close to returning with a calf problem.
