Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka is expected to be available for selection against Liverpool on Sunday having trained with the first-team after missing the games against Bournemouth and Shakhtar Donetsk, according to English journalist Sam C.

The journalist who works for The United Stand and Thats Football, and is followed by the likes of Dharmesh Sheth, David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that the England international is now fully fit and will face the Reds pending any last-minute changes or niggles.

However, Riccardo Calafiori is set to undergo a crucial scan scheduled for today after he was withdrawn during the Champions League game against the Ukrainians on Tuesday night.

Having Saka available for the game against the current Premier League leaders is a massive boost for Arsenal, and manager Mikel Arteta will hope he does not suffer a relapse going forward.

The Gunners missed the creativity of their winger against the Cherries, and they would have fancied their chances of securing victory had he been available on the pitch despite the red card William Saliba received 30 minutes into the game.

They will be desperate to bounce back against Liverpool, and they need Saka available against such a side.

A victory against the Merseysiders will boost their morale, and Arteta and his boys know that they cannot afford to drop points against the visitors at Emirates Stadium.

The defeat to Bournemouth has already dealt a little blow on their title chances and they simply have to pick up all three points against Liverpool.

Saka has two goals and seven assists in seven league appearances for Arsenal so far this term, and his return will increase their chances of securing a win against one of the best sides in the land right now.
