BREAKING NEWS: Two Arsenal stars who were doubtful have now travelled for Liverpool game after they passed late fitness test in training session yesterday – Huge boost for Arteta men to clinch to the top of the table Today

Arsenal have been handed a timely boost with two key players travelling with the squad for today’s Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield.

The Gunners have had a perfect start to the campaign with back-to-back victories and will aim to extend the streak against the Reds. They will be eyeing their first victory at Anfield since September 2012.

In his pre-match press conference, manager Mikel Arteta said that Martin Odegaard was doubtful, having been substituted with a shoulder problem during the 5-0 league rout of Leeds United last weekend.

The Norwegian had not trained on Friday, but seems to have made a good recovery.

Leandro Trossard was placed in the same category by the Spaniard, but the duo could be involved against the Reds, having been spotted boarding the bus at the Runcorn station yesterday.

Arsenal have had a phenomenal run against the ‘Big Six’ (22 unbeaten) in the Premier League. They have not been on the losing side against the Reds since a 3-2 defeat in October 2022.

The Gunners were trailing 2-0 at Anfield earlier this year, but made a terrific comeback to share the spoils. Arsenal will be eyeing a long-awaited victory at Anfield in today’s encounter.

Odegaard’s return is a huge boost. The captain is an undisputed starter from the number 10 role and is usually the orchestrator of counter-attacks with his precise range of passing.

The Norwegian’s work rate and high pressing is probably next to none in the Arsenal squad. He will be key to putting pressure on the Liverpool defence at different phases.

Trossard, on the other hand, may not be an assured starter at Anfield. Gabriel Martinelli will likely start on the left wing. He has eight goal contributions from 12 games versus the Reds.

Trossard has the same goal involvements from 13 meetings, but Arteta could prefer Martinelli’s pace on the left flank initially. The Belgian could be brought into the game in the second half.
