Hector Bellerin is a doubt for Saturday’s clash with Liverpool after he was taken off at half time on Sunday, he is believed to have muscular pains. Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac both have both been struggling with thigh problems but are expected to return in the coming days while Konstantinos Mavropanos and Laurent Koscielny remain sidelined. Ainsley-Maitland Niles is in contention to make his first appearance since August after recovering from a leg fracture. Mohammed Elneny picked up a thigh injury during training and has been ruled out for two weeks.
