Liverpool are on the road to an in-form Arsenal side with Jurgen Klopp’s Merseysiders aiming to close the gap with Manchester City to just one point at the summit.
Fourth-placed Arsenal play hosts to the second-placed Reds in what promises to be a high octane thriller of a Premier League showing in the English capital on Wednesday night.
Jurgen Klopp’s men last turned out against Brighton over the last weekend with goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah securing the three points up for grabs while Arsenal handed Leicester City a 2-0 defeat.
The Reds would be fretting over the match fitness of talisman Mohamed Salah despite Klopp sounding out hope on the injury front for the Egyptian who picked up a knock in the Brighton clash.
