From the source

Heading into the Anfield fixture, Arsenal fans were eagerly awaiting any news on Declan Rice's return. The England midfielder faced a race against time to be fit to travel to Liverpool, but he's travelled, been involved in training, and he was even seen on Arsenal's squad walk this morning.

Having Rice back and ready to play is a huge boost for Arsenal. He is undoubtedly the club's most important player, and despite Arsenal investing more in their midfield recently, the fact that Arsenal are a better team with Rice remains the same.

He could prove his worth yet again at Anfield. Liverpool's midfield is their weak point. Dominik Szoboszlai is, without a doubt, their strongest midfielder; however, it remains to be seen whether he will play.
