Arsenal have welcomed Noni Madueke back from injury for today's Premier League showdown with Liverpool at Anfield. The winger was passed fit after missing the Carabao Cup defeat by Fleetwood in midweek due to an ankle issue.
Gunners boosted by returns
Christos Tzolis is also in the squad for the first time since before the last international break. He has recovered from a hamstring injury and took full part in first-team training on Friday, as did Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori after their recent minor issues, and both start.
Bukayo Saka remains unavailable as he awaits a further scan on a quad injury suffered against Bayern Munich, with reports suggesting he could be sidelined for up to eight weeks. Max Dowman is suspended after his red card against Fleetwood.
Attack concerns ahead of Anfield trip
Both Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres were poor against Fleetwood, and neither has done enough to suggest they should start up front against Liverpool. Havertz in particular had a difficult night in the cup upset, though Mikel Arteta often turns to the German in the biggest matches.
Arsenal travel to Anfield for what looks set to be one of their toughest tests of the season so far. The match kicks off at 4.30pm GMT on Sunday and will be broadcast on Sky Sports.
