Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola says that Dominik Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz could be available for Sunday's clash with Arsenal. Szoboszlai and Munoz have both been missing since the Reds' 2-1 win away to Brentford earlier this month.
Iraola's side have won all three games in their absence, but the pair would provide extra firepower when the Premier League champions rock up at Anfield with injury concerns of their own. "I think they have a chance," the Liverpool manager replied when asked about Szoboszlai and Munoz.
"But I don't know for sure if they will be involved or not. We still have two days, so I think they have a chance, yes."
Liverpool will, however, be without Jeremie Frimpong until after the November international break. Meanwhile, Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike remain sidelined with long-term injuries.

Arsenal have also had positive news on the injury front, with Mikel Arteta confirming that Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice and Christos Tzolis have all returned to training. As for Noni Madueke's availability, Arteta admitted: "We don't know yet.
"We have a training session tomorrow, let's see if he can complete the full session. After that, we will know if he's available."
Arsenal lost at Anfield last season, with Szoboszlai scoring the only goal from a free-kick. But the Gunners went on to win the title while Liverpool plundered to fifth place and sacked Arne Slot.
After an unconvincing start to the season, Iraola is now on a five-game winning streak, with the last three coming at home. The Spaniard wants to use Anfield to his team's advantage and said: "At Anfield everyone feels when the team goes for it, when everyone is giving everything, when everyone is trying trying his best, our supporters will be there to help the team.

"Even when we've started losing in some of the last games they have been there and have helped massively.
"The other day against Chelsea, I thought the atmosphere was really, really good. It's nice to recover and feel these things at home as we have a big advantage over other teams because this atmosphere we can create is special."
