Managers thoughts
Arteta on Liverpool
“I have more admiration [for them] because it shows the difficulty of being at the top and transforming a football club, their identity, their beliefs and their competitive capacity for the last six or seven years. It shows how difficult it is to maintain and sustain that level.
“We all have difficult moments but especially with what they’ve done at the club, I think it’s something remarkable.”
Klopp on Arsenal
“Mikel has been building this team for a few years now and obviously the outcome is pretty impressive. The way they play is fun to watch, to be honest: it’s super-lively, really good football, top players on the pitch, good match plans.”
Possible Liverpool XI vs Arsenal
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Elliott; Salah, Núñez, Gakpo.
