Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has expressed concern that his team must be very cautious and tactful if they are to beat fast rising Arsenal at Anfield.
Liverpool will entertain the gunners tomorrow at Anfield Stadium.
Although Liverpool is currently ranked top of the Premier League with 51 points and Arsenal lies in the fifth position with 38 points any mistake at this time could cede ground to Manchester City which is close on their heels.
The reds are incidentally enjoying the best time of the season and having gone unbeaten for over 30 games with the recent 4-0 win over Newcastle United on Wednesday. Liverpool has not had such a performance within a space of over twenty five years. However the gunners are facing a hard time of the season with three loses and five draws respectively.
Klopp insists they still have plenty to improve as they host the gunners on Saturday despite the seven point difference between Man City.
“Arsenal is in a good moment, they have a fantastic team and a fantastic manager, so that will be really difficult,” Klopp told the media on Friday morning.
This is a completely different game. If we let them counter attack like we did to Newcastle on Wednesday, I don’t think we shall have a chance because they are very strong.
When asked about this fixture, Arsenal Midfielder Aaron Ramsey told Sky sports, “We are going to the match as under dogs but that will not stop us from securing the three points. If we want to be the best, we have to overcome everything.”
Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding, Shkodran Mustafi, Nacho Monreal and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are still ruled out of the Arsenal squad with all of them struggling with injuries. However Liverpool has most of its players fit and ready to challenge the Gunners on Saturday.
With the current form Liverpool has enjoyed this season, Arsenal boss Unai Emery has a strong belief that Liverpool could go unbeaten for the rest of the season.
Will it be Liverpool or Arsenal to take back home the three points? All this will be answered on Saturday at 8:30 pm East African time.
