Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed forward Darwin Nunez will face a late fitness test ahead of Sunday's huge meeting with Arsenal. The Uruguay international, who has three goals and two assists in his last four Premier League Game s, has helped make up for the absence of star winger Mohamed Salah, who picked up a hamstring injury at the Africa Cup of Nations which will keep him sidelined for several weeks. Nunez was at his chaotic best against Chelsea in midweek, hitting the post no fewer than four times, and Klopp has now revealed Nunez was playing through an injury which has given medical staff a real scare. "A little side story you don’t know, I don’t know if Darwin will be available or not because after 20 minutes, someone stepped on his foot," Klopp confessed. "Very painful after the game. "He only took the boot the game off after the game because he didn’t want to see it before. He knew there was something. "He left the stadium in a boot a...

Less than five years after his debut as a 17-year-old in January 2019, Saka is set to reach 200 outings in an Arsenal shirt when Arteta's side take on Luton Town in the Premier League . Should he feature as expected, he will become the youngest player to reach the milestone for Arsenal since Cesc Fabregas. "That's not bad at his age!" Arteta said of Saka ahead of the game. "It's gone really fast but it shows again the consistency and the availability that he has had over the last few years.
