Arsenal will definitely be without Martin Odegaard, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney while William Saliba serves his one-game ban after being sent off against Bournemouth last weekend.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have a handful of their own injury concerns to deal with. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota are both set to miss the trip to London while Conor Bradley and Federico Chiesa are doubts to feature as things stand. Speaking of the outfield trio, Reds boss Arne Slot said on Friday: "I think they feel good but not when it comes to playing for us during the weekend. Federico might train with us today or tomorrow – but Diogo definitely not. And Conor Bradley, let's see if he can be with us tomorrow."
On Alisson - who was injured while clearing the ball against Crystal Palace before the international break - Slot added: "He's progressing well, like we expect. It's always difficult to judge him. I think the best way to judge an injury is in the end of an injury, the end phase of his rehab, and he's not there yet. I can't tell you how much longer he will be out, but don't expect him to be in against Brighton in the cup or next week."
