Before the match, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said: "Every time we go to Anfield, we face a team who is up for it. It's always a ferocious battle, no matter who the manager is.

"They had a very strong manager before [Brendan Rodgers], they have a very strong one now and Klopp has the personality to do well there."

Liverpool manage Klopp said about Arsenal: "Arsenal and Arsene have their own style; it's possession football, so it's clear that if we want to play the same way we will be without a chance because they've been doing it for longer.

"Arsenal are not only a good possession team, that's the problem, they have good counter-attacks too and that's what you have to be aware of.

"It's a job - but it's a really nice job - to think about solutions and how to stop them coming through with their plan. I like things like this."
