Klopp fires warning to Arsenal after Liverpool’s draw at Chelsea

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is banking on their home record ahead of their Premier League clash against Arsenal on Sunday.

The Reds managed to pick up a point from their Tuesday’s clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and Klopp, while speaking after the game, said his focus is on Arsenal and sounded positive.

"The next game is Arsenal," Klopp said.

"I don’t know exactly where Arsenal were last year, but they are now obviously flying, in incredible shape, and playing super football, honestly, that is really good to watch.

"But we are there; it is a home game, and our home record is not as bad as the away record. It means I am really looking forward to this game now because tonight I saw a step and that’s what I wanted."

Despite the dull draw against Chelsea, the German urged his side to focus on the Gunners' date and not spread their focus over the remaining matches of the season.

"Now let’s carry on. Anfield is waiting for us, and we want to deliver. We have another 10 games to play, and the next one is Arsenal. Not the other nine, I am not interested in [those games]," he continued.

"But the next one is Arsenal, so if we are difficult to beat against Arsenal, we can win this game. If not, Arsenal will just go over us, and then we will see."

Klopp, who made six changes for the match against the Blues with Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Andy Robertson benched, bemoaned Liverpool’s blunt attacking department.

"With one point, the steps, how I said, are not massive. If you win a football game, all of a sudden three points for one game; wow, things can look different," he concluded.

"But for the moment we have no lack of goals, or lack of where we want to end up; we want to be as successful as possible.

"But that means for each weekend, or for each midweek game, like today, we want to win it. I saw that tonight [Tuesday], and for that, I am fine."
