Future of Daniel Sturridge at Liverpool FC Uncertain, Says Jurgen Klopp

If the next installment of Liverpool vs. Arsenal is anything like the previous one, the soccer world will be in for a treat.

United could have overtaken them by the time they kick-off on Saturday evening at home to Arsenal and Klopp has left his squad in no doubt there cannot be any repeat display.

Liverpool beat Arsenal 4-3 in the corresponding fixture at the Emirates Stadium in August.

History, urgency and entertainment.

Third-placed Manchester City, 11 points behind Chelsea with a game in hand, go to bottom club Sunderland, also on Sunday.

He has started just five Premier League matches this season – and nine games in all competitions – with Klopp favouring a front three of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho. Without Champions League status -and qualification for next season is still in the balance – Liverpool in recent years have found it hard to compete with London and Manchester for top level transfer targets such as Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Diego Costa, Leroy Sané and Alexis Sánchez. Kick off in this match is set for 12.30 PM ET so don’t miss a second of action.

Jurgen Klopp’s team, who are up against the Gunners at Anfield this afternoon, were thrashed 3-1 by Leicester City on Monday. Klopp has already stated that there were no opportunities to buy players targeted by the club, but wingers did seem to be on the agenda. Comprehensive defeats to Chelsea and Bayern Munich have all but ruled them out of the running in the Premier League and Champions League. No changes are predicted with Divock Origi, a regular substitute while Daniel Sturridge is out of the clash with a hip problem.

But Liverpool will have to do without Henderson, who remains sidelined with a foot injury.

If ever there was a good day to bury bad news, Liverpool timed it to perfection on Monday, when a terrible 3-1 defeat by Leicester City became a mere sideshow in the post-Claudio Ranieri circus. He should partner Joel Matip in center defense.

“It’s not the longest, he was out for pretty much four weeks, [he has been] training for three days and in the end I have to make a decision”. Aaron Ramsey should return to the bench though after being out injured.

Prediction: Both sides boast a powerful attack but lament their questionable defense.
