The Gunners face Jurgen Klopp’s side in a Premier League showdown on Saturday but the sides will soon lock horns again in a bid to reach the FA Cup fourth round.
Ahead of that match in January, Arsenal hope to have Takehiro Tomiyasu, Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny available, according to the Evening Standard.
Partey has been ruled out since October with a thigh problem while Tomiyasu picked up a calf injury at the start of December and Elneny hurt his hamstring against PSV last week.
All three players are believed to be recovering well and could even return sooner, particularly Partey, who is thought to be itching to make his return to action.
Meanwhile, Harry Redknapp feels Liverpool have a ‘selection problem’ when they host Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, following their impressive 5-1 Carabao Cup victory over West Ham in which they made six changes to the XI.
‘[They have] selection problems on Saturday,’ Redknapp told Sky Sports. ‘One or two of them tonight have made it difficult to leave them out. No injuries.
‘They absolutely slaughtered West Ham. From the first whistle, it was so one-sided that game.’
Arsenal and Liverpool’s clash this weekend is arguably the biggest game of the Premier League season so far, especially given Manchester City’s struggles.
The north Londoners currently sit top of the table after 17 games with Liverpool just one point behind them.
