The Arsenal forwards will have to be on their very best form against Liverpool tomorrow.
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp addressed the media today, ahead of his side’s clash with Arsenal tomorrow evening, and took time to praise Gunners duo Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, labelling the pair as ‘crazy quick’, as quoted by Sky Sports.
The Reds head into tomorrow’s clash six points clear at the top of the Premier League table, four places and 13 points ahead of Unai Emery’s side.
Arsenal have been poor defensively this season, but excellent going forward, and they are the Premier League’s fourth highest scorers, with 41 goals in 19 games thus far.
Whilst Liverpool are undoubtedly favourites to win at Anfield tomorrow, Arsenal will surely present them with a real challenge, and Klopp is under no illusions as to the size of the task they will face against the Gunners.
The German singled out Aubameyang and Lacazette for praise, when speaking to reporters today, as quoted by Sky Sports:
“They are strong, good with the ball and very lively. Their counter-attacks are crazy quick – Aubameyang and Lacazette are an outstanding striker couple up front. It will be difficult.”
The Gabonese hitman has been prolific as ever this season, chalking up 13 goals in 19 Premier League appearances, whilst the Frenchman hasn’t been quite as hot in front of goal, racking up six in 18.
And if Arsenal are to have any chance of beating Liverpool tomorrow, both Auba and Laca will surely have to add to those totals.
