Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has relieved injury fears surrounding the Brazilian after he wasn't pictured at their training ground lately. Fabinho only took a recovery session in private.

He was in excellent form for the Selecao during the international break. His presence in Liverpool's midfield on Saturday could be crucial in impeding Arsenal's attacking play.


Right Winger: Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

The Egyptian had 15 goals and six assists in 15 games this season.

Where do we even begin with Mohamed Salah? He has left us exhausted of superlatives with his seamless potential. The Liverpool ace has scored ten league goals and bagged six assists from 11 games this season.

His red-hot form has appeared to fizzle out lately. Salah has drawn a blank in his last three games in all competitions. But the Egyptian's excellent record against The Gunners means he could make a comeback against them.


Attacking Midfielder: Emile Smith Rowe (Arsenal)

The young Englishman has been a revelation this season. So much so that Emil Smith Rowe even broke into Gareth Southgate's England set-up during the international break. He contributed two goals in The Three Lions' 10-0 demolition of San Marino in the FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers.

He comes to Anfield tonight on the back of a goal in each of his last three league appearances. Smith Rowe's passing range could be a menace for The Reds.


Left Winger: Sadio Mane (Liverpool)

The Senegalese has six goals in 11 league games this season.

With six goals in 11 league games this season, Sadio Mane is behind only Michail Antonio and his teammate Mohamed Salah in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot.

His pace, athleticism and deadly finishing skills have been tough to handle for opposition teams. It will be interesting to see how Arsenal, who've conceded seven times to him, deal with Mane's threat on Saturday.
