Liverpool defenders Kolo Toure, Mamadou Sakho available for Arsenal showdown

“Klopp’s favoured style of high-pressing football is expected to be on show at Anfield but Wenger says his side are well prepared for whatever the Reds throw at them”.

The Ivorian played most of that 1-0 win alongside midfielder Lucas at the heart of defence after Dejan Lovren followed Philippe Coutinho in limping off before half-time with his own hamstring problem.

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp is celebrating having at least one senior centre-back available from his injury-ravaged squad to face Premier League leaders Arsenal on Wednesday, with Kolo Toure set to play against his former club at Anfield.

“There will be a moment where we can risk if we try, but it’s not a moment for this yet”.

“In every club now, when I look at the bench I am quite impressed with the players who are there and can play, so I don’t believe that it’s like we have 13 players who have to play every single game”.

“I don’t think you can explain the injuries of the players by the intensity of the game”, Wenger said.

In his absence Arsenal have moved top of the Premier League and progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup and his imminent return is sure to give their title hopes a huge boost. “That’s the situation, but next week it could be different”.

But all three, along with Sakho, have a shot at coming into the squad in two days’ time.

They always heal when they play against us!

“Two-two is a positive result”.

“We tried to create chances and we kept the ball well”.

Liverpool’s now injured centre-back Dejan Lovren has made some rather bold comments about our supporters, who were highly critical of his performances after arriving from Southampton in summer 2014. They are leading the table with 42 points after 20 matches.

The 17 year old Dubliner was an unused substitute during Jurgen Klopp’s side 2-2 draw with Exeter City in the FA Cup third round last Friday.
