Season-ending injury could have just impacted Arne Slot’s title chances at Liverpool

Arne Slot’s Liverpool squad is in excellent form, with only a few concerns on the injury front. The most notable absentee is Joe Gomez, who was forced off due to injury during the Reds’ shocking defeat to Plymouth Argyle over the weekend.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is dealing with a minor setback, but there’s good news as Curtis Jones has been declared fit for Wednesday night’s high-stakes Merseyside derby against Everton.

Meanwhile, Liverpool’s title challengers, Arsenal, are struggling with a growing injury crisis. Star winger Bukayo Saka has been sidelined since December, and the situation has worsened with Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli also ruled out. While training in Dubai, Mikel Arteta’s squad suffered yet another significant setback, one that could have major implications in the title race.

With Arsenal’s squad stretched thin, Liverpool have a golden opportunity to strengthen their grip on the Premier League summit. A victory at Goodison Park would see them extend their lead over the Gunners to nine points—potentially a decisive blow in the battle for the championship.
