Liverpool v Arsenal – PRESS CONFERENCE

Liverpool take on Arsenal in the Premier League at Anfield on Wednesday evening and boss Jürgen Klopp held his pre-match press conference at Melwood this afternoon to preview the game.

Below are the *main pointers that we feel may be of interest to you. Alternatively you can watch the press conference in full via our members’ website.

• “It’s always a big challenge to play against clubs like Arsenal and Man United. We have shown a plan against good footballing teams.”
• “We have to make good decisions in the right moment. We are looking forward to these games.”
• “Kolo will be available. Mama wants to be available. Hopefully we can use him. Skrtel still a few weeks away. Dejan feels good but it’s only six days. There will be a moment when we have to decide if it’s a risk we can try. We have to look at Kolo and Mama. Then it’s Lucas. They are our 3 centre-backs.” – [Liverpool Injuries]
• “You don’t need to follow the Pato path any longer. I’d rather not comment on transfers until they are signed so that’s just my private advice.”
• “Stoke was a good sign of what my team is capable of. We have to show it.”
• “We shouldn’t talk too much about my experiences of playing against Arsenal. We will find a current plan for this game.”
• “My respect for Arsene Wenger goes up day by day. It’s really intensive to work in the Premier League. He’s done a brilliant job.”
• “It was an easy decision to recall Danny Ward. We watched his improvement at Aberdeen. It’s a moment when we have to make decisions.”
