### Arsenal vs Liverpool: Key Injuries Ahead of Crucial Premier League Clash
As Arsenal prepares to host league leaders Liverpool this Sunday, injuries to key players on both sides could significantly impact the match. Mikel Arteta’s squad is looking to recover from a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Bournemouth, while Liverpool aims to strengthen their position after a narrow 1-0 victory over RB Leipzig midweek.
Bukayo Saka is doubtful for Arsenal as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury, and captain Martin Odegaard is ruled out due to an ankle problem. Defender Riccardo Calafiori’s participation is uncertain following a knock in the Champions League, with Jurrien Timber likely to step in. Additionally, William Saliba will miss the match due to suspension after receiving a red card.
On the Liverpool side, Diogo Jota is a significant doubt with an abdominal injury, and first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker remains sidelined with a hamstring issue. Backup goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has been filling in during his absence.
With both teams facing these challenges, this highly anticipated encounter could have major implications for the title race. A win for Liverpool would extend their lead over Arsenal, while a victory for the Gunners could reignite their pursuit of the championship.
