Liverpool miss six players, including Salah, vs Arsenal, who lead Premier League; both teams face key absences.

Liverpool are set to be without six players for their Premier League match against Arsenal, including Mohamed Salah due to Africa Cup of Nations duties and Hugo Ekitike, who remains doubtful with a hamstring issue. Key absentees also include Alexander Isak, Wataru Endo, and Giovanni Leoni, all sidelined by long-term injuries. Arsenal will miss defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera, though Kai Havertz is close to returning. Despite Liverpool’s injury concerns, the team is expected to stick with a similar starting XI, with Cody Gakpo leading the attack. Arsenal, top of the table, aim to extend their lead as they host the match at the Emirates Stadium.
