Liverpool Duo Out Of Arsenal Clash

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has ruled out the midfield duo of Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita for the huge Premier League clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening.

The Gunners host their title rivals in a Matchday 11 clash and the two aforementioned players are expected to miss the crucial game.

German tactician Jurgen Klopp confirmed their absence for the Arsenal game during his pre-match press conference on Friday morning.

The game pits two of the form teams in the Premier League together though the Reds have a four-point lead over their opponents.

Liverpool have won four and drawn two of their last six games in the Premier League, while the Gunners have won five and drawn just once from the last six league fixtures.

The game affords the Reds the opportunity to move seven points clear of one of their title rivals if they manage to get a victory, while Arsenal can move within one point of their guests with a win.

Liverpool presently occupies joint top on the league table alongside Manchester City who won’t play until Sunday meaning that the Reds also have the chance to move three points clear of the Citizens at the summit.
