Jurgen Klopp's brilliant reaction to Mikel Arteta's Arsenal team selection

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had a brilliant reaction to the Mikel Arteta's Arsenal squad after the Spaniard shook things up.

With Manchester City's UEFA ban being overturned, the Gunners' chances of securing European football via their Premier League finish have diminished and the FA Cup, where they tackle City in the semi-finals this weekend, now stands as their best chance of continental involvement.

Perhaps with that in mind, Arteta made five changes to his Arsenal side for the clash against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium and his set-up wasn't clear.

Klopp admitted he didn't know how Arsenal were approaching the match and he jokingly shouted over to Arteta in his pre-match interview in an attempt to get a steer on the plans.

“There are a few different things possibly system-wise, they could play the same system, 3-4-3, but we need a closer look,” he told Sky Sports.

“Mikel is here, I can ask him,” he added, before shouting: “We’re talking about your system!”

Arteta was then asked if he told Klopp his system, to which he replied after asking: “No, nothing.”
