Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp fires quick two-word comment on Man City vs Arsenal title clash

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has joked that he wants both Arsenal and Manchester City to lose in today's Premier League title clash at the Etihad Stadium.

Klopp's men moved top of the table with their narrow 2-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion earlier in the day. Mohamed Salah netted the winner at Anfield to put the Reds above the Gunners and City.

Should Mikel Arteta's men win at the Etihad Stadium, something they have failed to do since 2015, they will return to the top of the Premier League due to their superior goal difference.

If the defending champions are victorious, Liverpool will end the Easter weekend as league leaders with a point advantage going into the upcoming round of midweek fixtures.

After seeing his side defeat Brighton on Merseyside, Klopp was asked by Sky Sports what result he is hoping for between Arsenal and City. The German jokingly replied, «Both losing».

The game has been labelled as one of the most important games of Arteta's tenure in north London since departing City in 2019. The Spaniard suffered three defeats against the Citizens last season but has already defeated his former side in the Premier League and Community Shield this term.
