Liverpool receive major injury boost for Arsenal clash as two stars to return

Liverpool take on Premier League leaders Arsenal this weekend in a highly-anticipated match at Anfield.

The Reds have struggled in recent times, losing three of their last four outings across all competitions, although they boast a solid record against the Gunners, who haven't won a league match at Anfield in 11 years. According to The Athletic, Jurgen Klopp's side will welcome back central defender Virgil van Dijk and midfielder Thiago Alcantara for Sunday's match.

Van Dijk was absent from their midweek clash against Chelsea due to illness whilst Thiago missed two months of actions with a hip problem and they will both be back in contention to start against Mikel Arteta's men come the weekend. However, it is claimed that winger Luis Diaz is unlikely to feature having recently returned to training following a six-month spell on the treatment table.
