Report suggest that Liverpool are planning to push Daniel Sturridge to declare himself fit for Saturday's crunch encounter with Arsenal.
Liverpool currently sit five points behind Manchester United in fifth place on the Premier League table and anything other than three points at the Emirates Stadium will almost certainly end their hopes of a top-four finish.
The Express reports that Liverpool's medical department do not think the hip injury which sidelined Sturridge for England's games with Lithuania and Italy is too serious and believe he can be fit in time to make the trip to north London.
Sturridge suffered a slight tear to his hip flexor muscle in Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to United at Anfield just over a week ago.
Manager Brendan Rodgers is already without Steven Gerrard and Martin Skrtel as they both begin their three-match suspensions while Adam Lallana and Raheem Sterling are under slight injury clouds.
