Liverpool sweating on Alisson injury but fans believe he'll start against Arsenal after cryptic post

Liverpool fans are hoping Alisson has dropped a hint that he is fit to face Arsenal tonight.

The Reds goalkeeper is a doubt for the Premier League showdown at Anfield (8pm) after missing training this weekend.

The Brazilian has started Liverpool 's opening two league games of the season, along with the Community Shield fixture against the Gunners.

Adrian, though, was between the sticks for the 7-2 victory over Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup last Thursday as Jurgen Klopp rang the changes.

Alisson would be expected to return - fitness and availability permitting.

And the stopper raised the hopes of Reds supporters with a pre-match post on his Instagram story.

The post features a picture of Alisson clenching his fists in celebration, with a plug for this evening's game at the bottom, along with kick-off times in England and his native Brazil.

Here's what some fans had to say about it on Twitter.

@TheAnfieldTalk: Alisson has posted his matchday preview on Instagram. He has never done that before when he’s injured (crossed fingers emoji).

@LFCZA: Oh yes #Alisson #LFC

@AnfieldEdition: Alisson posting this on Instagram — indication he’s starting?

@LFCDylan19: Alisson is fit?

@felipe619_: Klopp usually tells the players who’s starting a day before so he’s definitely starting.

@_Ritzy_0_1: Seeing news on my TL on Alisson being fit. PLEASE BE TRUE.
