Liverpool are yet to loose a game so far after match day 2 in the new Premier League season. The Reds clinched the league title for the first time since 30 years with a 18 points gap between them and second place Manchester City.
Jurgen Klopp side have picked up six points against Leeds United and Chelsea respectively.
The Reds will host Arsenal at Anfield in their match day 3 clash.
The Liverpool captain was withdrawn at half-time of the 2-0 win at Chelsea due to precaution.
Recall that Henderson missed the Community Shield loss to Arsenal last month which Arsenal emerged winners following a 5-4 penalty shoot out.
Also, Joel Matip has return to training but will face a late fitness test.
Meanwhile, Joe Gomez and Billy Koumetio have returned to the squad.
“I think Joe should be back today in training, that’s what everybody told me – and nobody told me something different since,” said the boss at his pre-match press conference.
“Billy the kid is back in training. Joel not, pretty much. Hendo not yet, that was clear – this game is for sure too early. I think that’s it, pretty much.”
Liverpool signed Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich and he played 45 minutes at Stamford Bridge after replacing Henderson.
He is expected to start against the Gunners on monday night.
On playing Alcantara, Klopp said:“We will see, we will see. We have a few days to train, some boys have to recover from last night, so we will see how we set up against Arsenal.
“I have an idea, but why should I make the decision today when we have time until Monday? But he is in contention, for sure. Yeah, let’s see.”
