Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Arsenal

Liverpool play host to Arsenal in the EFL Cup fourth round on Wednesday night looking for their second victory over North London opposition in the space of three days.

Despite conceding an early goal, the Merseyside giants were able to record a 2-1 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.

However, while the result kept Liverpool six points clear at the top of the standings, that game will have little significance on the meeting with Arsenal courtesy of Jurgen Klopp changing the majority of his starting lineup.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up their latest injury and suspension news ahead of the showdown at Anfield.

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Dead leg Possible return date: October 30 (vs. Arsenal)

Van Dijk sustained a dead leg during Sunday's game, leaving him as a doubt for the next fixture. While the Netherlands international would likely be risked for a Premier League or Champions League clash, Klopp is expected to rest one of his key men for the EFL Cup.

The right-back's ACL injury is set to keep him out for the best part of the season, leaving Klopp short of cover for Alexander-Arnold.
