Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp said he was very enthusiastic about welcoming the home match at Anfied against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday (24/12) at 00.30 WIB.

Klopp is enthusiastic because the match will be very interesting because according to him the Gunners are one of the teams that maintain the best game like last season where they ended the season at runner-up positions.

"As I said, we are in our current position and not too bad. We are fighting a very strong team, we are against a team that played amazingly last season and our return is a good thing, even better than last season," he said., reported by Antara through the club's official website, Saturday.

This season, Arsenal brought in several top players such as Kai Havertz, David Raya, to Declan Rice where several newcomers made the team from North London consistently maintain their best game in the Premier League like last season.

Good performance not only occurred in the Premier League, but also in the Champions League event where Bukayo Saka and his friends advanced to the last 16 without encountering any difficulties.

By bringing in top players, they already have a top team, bringing in good players to develop the team. They did that, passed the Champions League (group phase) quite easily and played a very good Premier League campaign," he added.

With Aston Villa's draw against Sheffield United on Saturday WIB, Liverpool's duel against Arsenal will be a race for who will top the standings on Christmas Day.

Of Mikel Arteta's five meetings with Arsenal at Anfield, the German coach dominated with three wins, one draw, and only lost once to the League Cup.

"It's great to have them, happy to meet them. We meet quite often, of course, and that's good, but we have to make sure that we make it a decent home game, Anfield's decent experience. That's all I want," Klopp said.
