Klopp tips Arsenal as Premier League’s formidable force

After Liverpool’s commanding 5-1 victory over West Ham in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s manager, has identified Arsenal as the most formidable team in the current Premier League landscape.

Speaking in the aftermath of the win, Klopp expressed optimism but acknowledged the upcoming challenge as his team gears up to face Arsenal in a crucial top-flight clash this weekend.

“We feel good after that game [against West Ham], of course, but we are aware that we are going to face probably the strongest team in the Premier League, Arsenal,” Klopp shared with the BBC.

Highlighting Arsenal’s physical prowess, Klopp noted, “They are really physically strong. They didn’t get worse with Declan [Rice] in the team, let me say it like that! Really strong, and it will be a difficult and different game. We have to make sure it is difficult for Arsenal as well.”

As the anticipation builds for the impending clash, Klopp’s acknowledgment adds an extra layer of intrigue to the matchup, portraying Arsenal as a force to be reckoned with in the eyes of one of the Premier League’s most respected managers.
