Arsenal handed triple fitness boost for Liverpool clash

Arsenal have been handed a triple fitness boost ahead of Thursday's Carabao Cup encounter against Liverpool.

The Gunners recently played out a goalless draw in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final at Anfield.

Granit Xhaka was sent off after just 24 minutes, but they showed tremendous defensive resolve thereafter.

The second leg will be played at the Emirates tomorrow. Ahead of the game, there has been a timely boost.

Martin Odegaard is available for selection following his bout of coronavirus. He has returned to full training.

Emile Smith Rowe and Takehiro Tomiyasu missed the last two games with tight calf and groin issues respectively.

The duo are also expected to make a comeback for the visit of Jurgen Klopp's side.

The Gunners have been in superb form at home in recent months, and will fancy their chances of progressing.

The winner of tomorrow's game will face Chelsea at Wembley for the Carabao Cup trophy on February 27.
