Liverpool - Arsenal, Premier League 2024/25 Team News
Liverpool will start Conor Bradley at right-back on Sunday in place of the injured Joe Gomez (hamstring), as Arne Slot prepares for life after Alexander-Arnold. Aside from Gomez and Tyler Morton (shoulder), the champions have a clean bill of health and are expected to return to a stronger lineup after midweek rotations.
Virgil van Dijk, fresh off scoring in his 299th Premier League game, is set to become the fourth Dutch player to reach 300 appearances in the competition.
Arsenal’s injury situation has improved with Riccardo Calafiori, Jorginho, Jurrien Timber, and Martin Odegaard all returning to the squad. Calafiori could challenge Myles Lewis-Skelly for a starting spot, though his lack of minutes may keep the teenager in the XI. Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Magalhaes, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Kai Havertz remain out, but Havertz could return before season's end.
