Jorginho, Partey, Timber - Arsenal injury news and return dates before Liverpool
Mikel Arteta will be without the likes of Thomas Partey and Takehiro Tominaysu for the trip to Liverpool on Sunday as the Gunners have as many as six out.
The North London club could also be without another midfield option in Jorginho. The Italian international hasn't featured since the beginning of December, when he made a cameo in the 2-1 win over Wolves, since then he has been on the bench in two of their last three but was out for the win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz were on target in the triumph over the Seagulls which saw Arsenal leapfrog Liverpool to go top of the Premier League - prior to the Reds' goalless draw with Manchester United.
Jurgen Klopp knows what Liverpool really need against Arsenal after being left upset
Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Diogo Jota - Liverpool injury news
A win for Liverpool would see them move to the top-flight's summit for Christmas and enter the clash buoyant following their emphatic 5-1 win over West Ham United in the Carabao Cup.
In recent years, encounters between the Reds and Arsenal haven't been shy of action, nor controversy. Last time out at Anfield, Arsenal - who were league leaders at the time - raced into a two-goal lead before Jurgen Klopp's side staged a comeback thanks to Mohamed Salah and a late equaliser from Roberto Firmino.
Saturday's opponents have lost just one of their last five going into their showdown with Liverpool but they face selection problems of their own. Arteta is expected to address reporters on Friday ahead of their trip to Merseyside.
Below is the list of injury concerns at the Emirates Stadium
- Jorginho (foot) - Hopeful to be involved against Liverpool
- Mohamed Elneny (hamstring) - Doubt, January return
