Liverpool and Arsenal both confirm major injury boosts ahead of Anfield showdown

Arsenal and Liverpool prepare for crucial match at Anfield with key injury updates

Premier League rivals Arsenal and Liverpool will clash at Anfield on Sunday, with both managers confirming significant injury updates ahead of the high-stakes encounter. Liverpool's Andoni Iraola revealed that Dominik Szoboszlai and Victor Muñoz are both potential starters for their side, despite being sidelined since the Reds' 2-1 victory over Brentford earlier this month. Iraola expressed optimism about the duo's potential impact, stating, "They have a chance, yes."

In contrast, Liverpool will be without Jeremie Frimpong, who remains sidelined until the November international break. Additionally, Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley, and Hugo Ekitike will continue to miss out due to long-term injuries. On the Arsenal side, Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice, and Christos Tzolis have returned to training, providing the Gunners with a welcomed boost.

Noni Madueke's availability remains uncertain, with manager Mikel Arteta stating, "We don't know yet." He added, "We have a training session tomorrow, let's see if he can complete the full session."

Arsenal recently suffered a defeat at Anfield last season, where Szoboszlai scored the lone goal from a free-kick. However, the Gunners went on to secure the title while Liverpool dropped to fifth place. Iraola's Liverpool side, on the other hand, has won their last five matches at home, with Szoboszlai netting the decisive goal in their most recent victory.

The Spanish manager highlighted the importance of Anfield, remarking, "At Anfield everyone feels when the team goes for it, when everyone is giving everything, when everyone is trying his best, our supporters will be there to help the team."
