Dominik Szoboszlai arrives at Liverpool’s hotel ahead of the Arsenal match

Dominik Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz have arrived at Liverpool’s team hotel ahead of facing Arsenal at Anfield. Both players were doubts for the game against the Gunners, though Andoni Iraola revealing they had a ‘chance’ of being available.

Szoboszlai was suffering from a hamstring injury while Munoz struggled with a knee issue. The pair remain likely to return to Liverpool’s squad on the bench.

“I think they have a chance,” Iraola said in his press conference earlier in the week. “They have a chance. But I don’t know for sure if they will be involved or not. We still have two days so I think we have a chance, yes.”

Szoboszlai’s return comes after missing Liverpool’s previous three matches. The Hungarian had previously missed two games before suffering a setback upon his return.

Summer signing Munoz has also missed three matches after suffering a knee injury against Brentford. The Spaniard has impressed on the wing for the Reds and is set to return to the squad after travelling with the group.

It has been reported that Alexis Mac Allister was not among those who arrived at the team hotel. However, the Argentina international may once again have alternative arrangements in place, as he did ahead of the victory over Brighton last weekend.

Iraola believes the Reds face a ‘demanding’ match against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side. A victory would reduce the gap to the top of the table to just three points.

“I think it’s too early to start looking at the standings,” he said. “I think it’s about preparing ourselves for a very difficult game.

“We know Arsenal, we know how good they are, very good players, working a lot, working in synchrony, knowing each other very well and we have to be ready for that challenge.

“I think it’s going to be demanding, the game, but I also trust our players, trust ourselves and in a good atmosphere that for sure we will have on Sunday, I hope we can be at the level to win this game
