According to a report by London Evening Standard on Sunday November 1, 2026, Arsenal have received a significant boost ahead of their Premier League showdown against Liverpool, with Noni Madueke returning from injury as Mikel Arteta prepares his squad for the challenging trip to Anfield.

The Gunners face a difficult test against Liverpool, with several attacking options unavailable or struggling for consistency. Bukayo Saka remains sidelined with a quadriceps injury, while Max Dowman is suspended following his dismissal against Fleetwood.

Madueke has recovered from an ankle problem that forced him to miss Arsenal's surprising Carabao Cup elimination against Fleetwood. Christos Tzolis has also returned after recovering from a hamstring injury and starts against Liverpool.

Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori have likewise recovered from minor fitness concerns. Both players participated in Friday's first-team training session and have been included in Arsenal's starting lineup for the important Premier League encounter.

Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres endured disappointing performances against Fleetwood, raising questions about their suitability for the starting position against Liverpool. Nevertheless, Arteta continues to consider Havertz for important matches because of his experience.

Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Bruno Guimaraes; Madueke, Odegaard, Tzolis; Havert
