Jurgen Klopp and Trent Alexander-Arnold agree on Arsenal transfer verdict before Liverpool clash

Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold agrees with his head coach Jurgen Klopp on Arsenal's summer transfer business and how it has helped them become Premier League title challengers. It comes as the Gunners prepare for a huge clash against the Reds at Anfield on Saturday.

The north London outfit currently lead the way and avoiding defeat would secure top spot for Christmas day at the very least, while keeping their rivals at a safe distance. Aston Villa have moved level on points, but will be disappointed by their inability to move top with their early match on Friday night.

Liverpool sit just one point behind in third, knowing that a win in front of their home crowd would see them leapfrog other to the top of the pile. Then there's Manchester City, the current champions that sit in fourth and will have a game in hand due to their Club World Cup involvement this week.

It means the head-to-head comes as a huge match in the context of the title race, which has been a topic of discussion for managers in the build-up. Klopp was particularly complimentary of the side in his pre-match press conference, as he said: «We play a super-strong team, a team who played exceptional last season and coming back, are even better than last season.

»They already had a top team, and bringing in really good players to improve the team did that. You bring in Rice and Havertz and it doesn't make you worse. Raya in goal doesn't make you worse. They went through the Champions League pretty easily and have played a really good Premier League campaign.
