The 28-year-old sat out of the Gunners’ 1-0 win over Watford on November 7 due to a “tight groin” and subsequently pulled out of Black Stars' squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

He has spent the last two weeks working on his fitness at the Gunners’ London Colney training base in a bid to be fit for the match at Anfield.

"All other players in the men’s first-team squad are currently fit and available for selection," a club statement reads.

Mikel Arteta added, "Same again, he could not play for the national team, he really tried to do that because they had a massive game and he really pushed for that one, but he wasn't close enough to do that."

"Again, it's something we have to assess today because he hasn't done enough [preparation work]."

Partey has made eight appearances for Arsenal across all competitions and scored one goal.
