Getty/GOALThe recent international break leaves Liverpool's Jordan Hernderson, Andrew Robertson and Divock Origi doubtful for Saturday's showcase due to knocks while Klopp confirmed that Sadio Mane may be fit.
Not that the likes of Roberto Firmino, Joe Gomez, James Milner, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliot will be in the best of shapes either.
Thomas Partley should be back for Arsenal, and so is Folarin Balogun available for selection, while Arteta will have someone other than Granit Xhaka and Sead Kolasinac.
Starts for both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette may see options from the bench in the form of Nicolas Pepe and Martin Odegaard among others, with Kieran Tierney expecting to be in the XI.
