Liverpool could welcome back both Dominik Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz against Arsenal this afternoon.
Szoboszlai has missed all bar half an hour of the Reds’ six matches since the international break with a hamstring injury suffered on Nations League duty with Hungary, breaking down on his short-lived return at Brentford a fortnight ago.
Munoz sustained a knee problem after scoring in the same game and hasn’t featured since, though Andoni Iraola insisted on Friday there was “a chance” that both could be involved against Arsenal.
Szoboszlai and Munoz were both spotted arriving at Liverpool’s team hotel on Sunday morning in footage that circulated on X, while they have also since each posted matchday graphics to their respective Instagram Stories.
Jeremie Frimpong is still sidelined though, as are long-term absentees Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Hugo Ekitike.

Good afternoon and welcome to Standard Sport's live coverage of Liverpool vs Arsenal in the Premier League.
All eyes will fall upon Anfield today for the game of the weekend and one of the biggest of the season so far as the defending champions seek to quickly bounce back from their Carabao Cup last-16 humiliation at the hands of fourth-tier Fleetwood in midweek.
Arsenal have incredibly not won a single league match at Anfield since September 2012 and could have their work cut out once more against a soaring Liverpool side who have now reeled off five consecutive victories across all competitions, overcoming Chelsea on penalties last time out.
However, leaders Manchester City's second successive slip-up at the hands of Brighton yesterday means Mikel Arteta's men will go top of the table with just a point on Merseyside.
Andoni Iraola has been understandably keen to play down discussions of a potential title challenge from Liverpool, who currently sit in fifth and six points off the summit, though it will be difficult to keep a lid on expectations if they triumph again here.
Kick-off is at 4:30pm GMT, so stick with us for all your match build-up, breaking team news and live games updates, including expert analysis and insight from Standard Sport's Arsenal correspondent Matt Verri at Anfield.
