Liverpool FC aim to reduce gap at the top to just 1 point

Liverpool FC travel to North London where they meet an in form Arsenal side that has not lost in their last 5 Premier league matches.

This is the 4th times these teams would meet this season, with Liverpool having won 2 of them and a draw.
Jurgen Klopp and his men know that Manchester City dropped points against Crystal Palace on Monday and would not be willing to let this opportunity slip by.

Liverpool are 4 points behind the league leaders with a game in hand. A win today would help them close the gap down to just a solitary point.

But, Jurgen Klopp knows he should be wary of Arsenal who are having a great run of their own. The London side is back in champions league spots and has games in hand to strengthen its position. Mikel Arteta and his men would not make it easy for the visitors to take 3 points off them.

Mohammed Salah who was subbed out for an injury just after scoring his goal is set to be fit for the showdown at the Emirates. The Egyptian is the Premier League top scorer with 20 goals, 8 clear of those in second place. Having him back is a big boost for Liverpool.

The last time these two teams met, Liverpool emerged victorious thanks to a brace from Portugese star Diogo Jota. This helped them reach the Carabao cup final which they would eventually go on to win after an intense match against Chelsea FC.

Last time Liverpool faced Arsenal, they were without Mohammed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita. All of them are available for the match. Liverpool would be without the services of James Milner and Kostas Tsimikas as they are ill and would miss the blockbuster clash.

As for Arsenal, Tomiyasu might miss the match due to an injury is what Arteta stated.

The onus will be on the visitors for whom this is a must win game. As Jurgen Klopp stated in his press conference

“It’s final after final after final that we play. We’re not 10 points ahead with 10 to go. It’s in front of us, attack it, chase it, go for it. It’s the only chance we have”

It is going to a feisty affair when the two teams meet at the Emirates stadium on Wednesday Evening. Both teams will go neck to neck making it an exciting watch for the neutrals.
