Arsenal injury, suspension list: Lucas Torreira latest and team news for Premier League match vs Liverpool

Arsenal are still facing a defensive injury crisis with Hector Bellerin (calf), Konstantinos Mavropanos (groin) and Rob Holding (knee) all definitely out.

Shkodran Mustafi and Nacho Monreal (both thigh) are doubts, meaning Stephan Lichtsteiner could once again be deployed at right-back despite a costly mistake at Brighton.

Further up the field, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is out for six weeks with a broken metatarsal, Emile Smith Rowe (groin) remains out, while Danny Welbeck (ankle) is a long-term absentee.

Mesut Ozil started at Brighton but was taken off at half-time, which suggests a start at Anfield would be unlikely this time around.

Alexandre Lacazette once again showed his frustration at being taken off early in a game as he threw his gloves to the ground after being subbed off at the Amex with the scores level.

Lucas Torreira is free to face Liverpool after an initial mix-up over whether he received a yellow card against Brighton.

A number of online services appeared to confirm that the midfielder had received a yellow card against Brighton - a fifth caution of the season which would have resulted in a ban against Liverpool - but it was in fact Sead Kolasinac who was booked for complaining about a tackle on Torreira.
