Saka out, Odegaard doubt? Arsenal injury, suspension list for Liverpool clash

Seeking a first Premier League success at Anfield in a whopping 13 years, Arsenal hit the road to face reigning champions Liverpool in Sunday's blockbuster encounter.

The Gunners have claimed the Reds' throne at the summit after the first two gameweeks of the 2025-26 season, following up a nervy 1-0 win at Manchester United with a 5-0 demolition of Leeds Unitedon Saturday.

Viktor Gyokeres and Jurrien Timber both bagged braces alongside a Bukayo Saka strike against the Whites, but the latter was one of two new injury concerns for Mikel Arteta to contend with.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the crunch clash with the champions.
