Jurgen Klopp: Arsenal will win league if Man Utd play like they did against Liverpool
Klopp urged Liverpool to "stay calm" after losing the Premier League top spot this weekend, drawing 2-2 at Old Trafford on Sunday
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has warned Manchester United they will get beaten by Arsenal next month if they play like they did against his side.
Klopp urged Liverpool to “stay calm” after losing the Premier League top spot this weekend, drawing 2-2 at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Sunday’s match was Liverpool’s second visit to Old Trafford in three weeks – and they had a total of 53 shots over those two matches, yet won neither.
United could yet help Klopp’s side, as they host Arsenal – the new leaders – on the season’s penultimate weekend.
However, Klopp fears United need to up their game if they are to halt Mikel Arteta’s side.
“Probably,” said the Liverpool boss, when asked if he would be cheering for United on 11 May. “If we are still around then that would be great.
“But Arsenal are a good football team. If they [United] play like today, Arsenal will win the game, I am 100% sure. I am sorry to say that.”
Liverpool’s goal difference is nine inferior to Arsenal, while they are a point ahead of Manchester City.
After serving up an FA Cup classic last month, these two rivals played out another thriller.
Having gone 1-0 up through Luis Diaz, Liverpool could have been out of sight by half-time, but their profligacy in front of goal proved costly when Bruno Fernandes made Jarell Quansah pay for a loose pass with an audacious strike to restore parity after the break.
Kobbie Mainoo subsequently sparked wild celebrations with a delightful curling finish, but Salah’s composure following Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s foul on Harvey Elliott ensured Liverpool moved level on points with Arsenal, though the Gunners – and Manchester City – will feel they are the big winners from this encounter.
