Jurgen Klopp is ready to ring the changes for Liverpool once again this weekend – and is now eagerly anticipating the visit of Arsenal.
The Reds responded to Saturday’s dismal 4-1 reverse at Manchester City by scrapping to a goalless Premier League draw at Chelsea on Tuesday night.
Klopp made six changes for the Stamford Bridge showdown with Virgil van Dijk absent with illness and Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson all benched.

And having been encouraged by his team’s resolve, the Liverpool boss is more encouraged ahead of the showdown with runaway leaders Arsenal on Sunday.
“A different opponent in the next game, different jobs to do, but we will find a way to cause them problems,” said Klopp.
"Each development and each step starts with being difficult to beat. And we have to be difficult to beat again. That’s what we have to be first and foremost.
“If we do that, we build confidence and we are much closer to our best self than we are at the moment. That isn’t possible without super hard work.
“Arsenal are flying and in incredible shape and playing super football, it’s really good to watch as well. But we are there, it’s a home game, and our home record is not as bad as our away record.
“If we are difficult to beat against Arsenal, we can win this game. If not, Arsenal will just go over us. I’m really looking forward to this game now as tonight I saw a step. That’s what I wanted.”
