Liverpool team news ahead of the Premier League fixture against Arsenal at Anfield.
Arne Slot has provided a Liverpool injury update of their clash against Arsenal.
The Premier League champions welcome last season's runners-up to Anfield on Sunday. Both outfits are again favourites to claim the silverware and have each had perfect starts to the 2025-26 season.
Liverpool's dramatic 3-2 win at Newcastle United, courtesy of 16-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha's 100th-minute goal, ensured that the Reds did not give Arsenal an early advantage.
Arne Slot's side have had early problems when it comes to fitness. Jeremie Frimpong, signed from Bayer Leverkusen for £29.5 million, remains absent with a hamstring problem picked up during the opening-day win over AFC Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Alexis Mac Allister missed the Newcastle game, having also been absent for a large chunk of pre-season. However, the key midfielder is back in training ahead of Arsenal’s visit to Anfield.
Slot also confirmed that Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, who was on the end of a rash tackle which earned Anthony Gordon a red card against Newcastle, is fine to feature. Conor Bradley came off the bench against the Magpies following an injury and has continued to train this week.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Slot said: No I don’t think so, the positive is that Conor Bradley only had one or two training sessions before Newcastle, he has trained the whole week and Mac Allister started training as well. Virgil is also okay.”
