Difficult To Explain Why We Didn’t Beat Arsenal- Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool will welcome back Emre Can after suspension, but Daniel Sturridge and Joel Matip are expected to miss out despite making progress from injury.

Liverpool head into Friday’s match in fourth place, but just a point ahead of Arsenal in fifth. They won 4-0 thanks to goals from Philippe Countinho, Dejan Lovren, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. The Germany worldwide has not featured for the Gunners since limping out of the 3-1 defeat to Manchester United at the beginning of December but is available for Friday’s clash in north London, with Arsenal eager to avenge a 4-0 defeat on Merseyside in August. With Clyne absent, Klopp has Joe Gomez as his first choice right-back and with Moreno out, Andrew Robertson, who has hardly put a foot wrong will be the left-back for this tie. So let’s focus on what is in front of us and turn up with a completely different performance.

“The motivation is there”. “We allowed them to take the game to us. But it’s hard. I was happy from the first day about his involvement, about his attitude, and since then he became more and more a Liverpool player”.

“I’ve got nothing else to say on the matter and I know I’m paid as a pundit to come on and talk about it”. Against us it happened that they played a lot of long balls to Giroud. In the moment, it’s very disappointing and I’m angry about it, but the bad thing is that I can not change it anymore for tonight.

“They have to find a mechanism of being able deal with that and stopping the game”.

David Seaman is fully expecting to see Arsenal claim a 3-1 win over Liverpool FC in Friday night’s crunch Premier League clash at The Emirates. In three matches, the Merseysiders have smashed 11 goals, carving open their top-six rivals nearly at will.

“I said it, ‘2-1 (down for Arsenal) is better than 1-0 because at least the crowd has had a lift with the goal”.

“Then after these five minutes we reacted much better and deserved the points”.

Arsenal ace Alexandre Lacazette What time is it on at?

Jurgen Klopp made only two changes to the team that beat Bournemouth on Sunday.

The Gunners have managed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight home games in the Premier League.
