Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been handed a couple of late concerns ahead of Sunday's blockbuster Premier League battle with title rivals Arsenal.

The Reds will head to the Emirates without the services of Wataru Endo (international), Mohamed Salah (muscle), Kostas Tsimikas (collarbone), Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Ben Doak (knee), Joel Matip (knee), while Alexis Mac Allister's knee concern will also need a once-over, and Darwin Nunez is a fresh doubt due to a swollen foot.

However, the visitors' team news would have been dominated by the unforeseen battle between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Conor Bradley, the latter of whom shone in the 4-1 battering of Chelsea with a goal and two assists in place of his more revered teammate.

Bradley has done more than enough to justify an Emirates start, but the 20-year-old is mourning the recent death of his father, so Alexander-Arnold will likely be promoted back to the first XI in North London; the same can be said for Andrew Robertson over Joe Gomez.

Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate will complete the first-choice rearguard for one of Liverpool's biggest tests of the season to date, while Mac Allister is expected to be fine to line up in the number six position, but Dominik Szoboszlai was supposedly not seen with the squad on Saturday and may cede his spot to Ryan Gravenberch if he is indeed absent.

Curtis Jones's place in the engine room is surely safe, though, and with Salah still in the care of the medical team, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz should reprise their attacking roles too.

However, Klopp revealed in his pre-game press conference that Nunez left the stadium in a protective boot in midweek, and while the Uruguayan has not sustained any fractures, Cody Gakpo should gear up for a recall to the XI.

Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Jota, Gakpo, Diaz
