Liverpool
Preparing for a post-Alexander-Arnold world, Slot told the media on Friday morning that Conor Bradley will be fielded at right-back on Sunday; another potential alternative, Joe Gomez, is still missing with a hamstring problem.
Barring Gomez and shoulder victim Tyler Morton, the champions have a clean bill of health for Sunday's blockbuster, where Slot is expected to revert to a more familiar side after experimenting with a few fringe players at Stamford Bridge.
Van Dijk netted his third goal of the Premier League season on his 299th appearance last weekend, and the Liverpool skipper is now set to become just the fourth Dutchman to play 300 games in the competition after George Boateng (384), Dennis Bergkamp (315) and Edwin van der Sar (313).
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz
Arsenal
Arsenal's fitness situation is also looking a little rosier after Riccardo Calafiori and Jorginho returned from injury to make the squad against PSG, where Jurrien Timber and Martin Odegaard also recovered from knocks sustained in the Bournemouth beating.
Calafiori could even be a viable option on the left-hand side over Myles Lewis-Skelly, who endured a rough ride against PSG on Wednesday, but the former's lack of match practice ought to work in the teenager's favour.
Long-term absentees Gabriel Jesus (knee), Gabriel Magalhaes (hamstring), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and Kai Havertz (hamstring) are still missing, but the latter remains on track to feature before the end of the season.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Merino, Martinelli
Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal
