Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp announced that James Milner and Konstantinos Tsimikas will miss the trip to Arsenal in the Premier League. The German stated that the duo are out due to an illness.
He stated that these are the only two absentees ahead of their trip to North London. Speaking to the press ahead of their game against the Gunners, Jurgen Klopp said:
“Konate is back. Milner and Tsimikas at this moment are out. I think that is it.”
The Reds have multiple midfielders who can step up in James Milner’s absence. The likes of Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita, and Jordan Henderson are all in contention to feature against the Gunners.
Meanwhile, Andy Robertson is Liverpool’s first-choice left-back and was always destined to start on Wednesday regardless of Tsimikas’ availability.
The big clash at the Emirates Stadium is a vital game for both sides. Liverpool will be looking to carry on their winning run in the Premier League after Manchester City’s 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace on Monday. The Reds are currently just four points behind the league leaders with a game in hand. A win would see them reduce the gap down to just one point.
Arsenal, on the other hand, will be looking to strengthen their claim on the fourth spot in the Premier League.
Following their 2-0 win over Leicester City, Mikel Arteta’s side is currently fourth in the standings, having amassed 51 points from 26 matches.
They are a point ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United and also have three games in hand.
Liverpool and Arsenal are two of the most in-form teams in the Premier League.
The game at the Emirates Stadium will be contested by two of the most in-form teams in the Premier League. The Gunners have finally found some consistency under the management of Mikel Arteta.
As things stand, Arsenal has notched up five consecutive wins in the league. They haven’t lost a league game since New Year’s Day, a 1-0 loss to league leaders Manchester City. This good run of results has made Arsenal one of the favorites to qualify for Champions League football for next season.
Liverpool, however, is on an even better run of form in the Premier League. The Reds have won eight consecutive games in the league, conceding just two goals along the way. Jurgen Klopp’s side is currently chasing an unprecedented quadruple after winning the Carabao Cup last month.
