Liverpool travel to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday to take on Arsenal and Jurgen Klopp might have two major absentees for the game.
Liverpool alongside Chelsea and Manchester City are the only teams that are still unbeaten in the Premier League but given the form that the Gunners are in, the Reds could very well lose their second spot on the table by Saturday night.
Jurgen Klopp might have two major absentees during the game and both of them will be at the heart of midfield.
The first one is summer signing Naby Keita who is still recovering from his hamstring injury and recent reports suggest that the former Leipzig player could miss the trip to London.
Liverpool have confirmed that Naby Keita has returned to light training but we are still unsure if he will be match fit for Saturday’s clash.
The second absentee is Jordan Henderson who has a tight hamstring.
Jordan Henderson did not feature during Liverpool’s 4-1 thrashing of Cardiff City last weekend and could also miss the game against the Gunners.
Henderson will likely go through a late fitness test and the Liverpool medical staff feel that the club captain will make himself available for the trip to London.
Liverpool definitely have a tough job on their hands given that Unai Emery’s side have been in fine form ever since their loss to Man City and Chelsea during the first two weekends of the Premier League.
Arsenal’s front line have been in perfect sync during the past couple of months and it will surely be a test for the likes of Joe Gomes and Virgil Van Dijk.
The Reds manager will once again have to depend on his attacking line up if he wishes to come out of the Emirates with a win.
