The Frenchman was a doubt heading into the fixture after he was left out against Fulham, with Slot explaining that his striker had not trained following the 2-2 draw due to a hamstring issue.
Arsenal vs. Liverpool team news: 1 change
• One change: Jeremie Frimpong returns to the XI, with Curtis Jones dropping to the bench in the only change to the XI.
• Injury absence: Hugo Ekitike is not in the matchday squad for second game in a row.
• Rumours quashed: Despite online rumours, Federico Chiesa did travel and is one of the options on the bench.
Ekitike’s absence continues to leave slim options in attack, but at the other end of the pitch Alisson remains in goal for the 10th consecutive game.
With Ekitike still not fit for the squad, Chiesa and Rio Ngumoha remain the attacking options from the bench, while Jones is the experienced midfielder available to Slot.
Joe Gomez and Andy Robertson are the defensive alternatives should the Reds need them this evening.
