All mind-games — Arsenal set to receive major boost

If Liverpool has included the absence of any Arsenal player aside William Saliba and Martin Odegaard from their tactical analysis ahead of facing the Gunners at the Emirates, the Reds will be in for a rude awakening.

According to a new report, Arsenal fans have reason to be hopeful ahead of Sunday’s high-stakes showdown with Liverpool at the Emirates.

The latest buzz suggests that Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber might make a surprise return, having been spotted arriving at the team hotel on Saturday night.

Saka, who was sidelined after an injury during the international break, missed key matches against Bournemouth and Shakhtar Donetsk, raising concerns about his availability for this clash. Timber, meanwhile, has been out longer than expected but reportedly took part in his first full training session this week.

Mikel Arteta, cautious but optimistic, hinted that both players might yet be ready, leaving fans on edge. Saka’s reappearance on the pitch would be a game-changer for Arsenal’s attack, while Timber’s return would provide defensive depth, especially with the absence of William Saliba due to suspension.

Mikel Arteta expressed confidence in his squad’s versatility, noting that others could step into Saliba’s role if needed, but Saka and Timber’s returns could be the real key to Arsenal’s success against Liverpool.

Could this last-minute boost tilt the odds in Arsenal’s favor?

All eyes are now on Arteta’s final lineup and whether the Gunners can capitalize on a potentially revitalized squad to edge out their rivals.
