Injuries to Saka, Martin Odegaard and Riccardo Calafiori had threatened to serious weaken the Gunners as they host the table-topping Reds on Sunday, so the news via Football Transfers that the England international will be fit will please Mikel Arteta.
Bukayo Saka will be fit for Arsenal against Liverpool
Arne Slot has only lost one of his 12 games in charge of the Anfield-based outfit, a surprising reverse against Nottingham Forest.
His other 11 games have all been won, setting a new record in the process.
Although there would still be plenty of time left in the season for the North Londoners to claw themselves back up to the summit, the way that Liverpool and Man City are playing at present is an ominous sign.
They both appear to be able to get the job done when needed, but as Arsenal showed up at City and again at Bournemouth – notwithstanding they were playing with 10 men in both games – they’re not ‘there’ yet.
That has to be the challenge for Arteta. To get the mindset of his players spot on, so when the going gets tough, Arsenal get going.
