Arne Slot confirmed Liverpool must face Arsenal without Diogo Jota leading the line. After passing its first major test against Chelsea, Liverpool is on its way to the Emirates for its second top-six clash in seven days.

Arne Slot has confirmed Diogo Jota will not be available for Liverpool’s trip to Arsenal on Sunday. The Portugal international has been Slot’s preferred option to lead the line for much of the season so far with four goals and two assists in 10 appearances.

Liverpool faces a critical test against Arsenal without key players, including Diogo Jota and possibly Federico Chiesa. Coach Arne Slot remains hopeful, but injuries present significant obstacles for the Reds in their pursuit of Premier League dominance.
