Martin Keown: This is my prediction for Arsenal’s clash with Liverpool

The fixture is an important one in the race to secure a lucrative top-four finish and Philippe Coutinho knows Liverpool can not afford another loss to an Arsenal side who come into the game having lost three of their past five matches.

Trips to Anfield have not been kind for Arsenal in recent years.

Jordan Henderson’s prospects of featuring in a game with major implications for Champions League qualification (Arsenal are a point ahead in fourth place), however, are remote after Klopp admitted the midfielder was unlikely to have recovered from a foot injury.

“I trust the boss, all the players trust the boss, and we’re all in it together”, he told BT Sport in a live Facebook broadcast. Instead the Gunners have managed to attract a few players considered to be of high quality, based on the club’s history and reputation, as well as Arsene Wenger himself. Getting Ramsey and Koscielny back and ensuring Ozil’s health goes a long way towards netting those three very important points at stake. “He’s back in full training”.

“Elneny has an ankle problem, should be sorted in three weeks”.

Wenger also discussed Santi Cazorla, who has reportedly suffered a setback on his recovery from ankle surgery.

Number of league starts Daniel Sturridge has made this season.

Cazorla hasn’t played since October, and Arsenal’s performances have suffered in his absence.

With a remarkable 17 wins from their last 20 league games, rarely has the phrase “runaway leaders” been more apt than when describing Chelsea’s seemingly unstoppable march to the championship. The England global no longer seems to fit into Klopp’s frontline and injuries continue to trouble him.

Jurgen Klopp’s men had been tipped to make the most of their own extended break prior to Monday’s game with Leicester only to be beaten 3-1 by the stuttering reigning champions.

I think it shows the pressure of their managers in the way that both teams play. Again, we saw that against Leicester.
