5 reasons why Liverpool will destroy Arsenal

Klopp's record against big 6

Liverpool were the only team to be undefeated against the Top 6 in the league last season

Last season, Liverpool earned the title ‘Robinhood’ after their brilliant performance against the top clubs and some shocking defeats against teams in the bottom end of the table.

The Reds dropped five points against relegated Hull City and Sunderland in addition to losing a game each against Crystal Palace, Swansea City and Burnley who finished 14th, 15th and 16th respectively.

In stark contrast, they went undefeated against the Top 6 with 5 wins and 5 draws in 10 matches. Their 20 points against the Top 6 was the best in the league. Also, the only defeat Liverpool had against a team in the Top 10 was against 9th placed Bournemouth.

Robinhood indeed!

Klopp’s record against the big teams in his entire tenure as Liverpool manager is fantastic. Against Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs combined in all competitions, Klopp has played 22 games and has lost just two games. The first was a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United in a game which Liverpool thoroughly dominated but failed to take their chances and the second was on penalties in the final of the Capital One Cup.

Against Arsenal, Liverpool have played thrice under Klopp, winning two and drawing once. In those three games, Liverpool scored 10 goals! Also, Arsenal were the only Top 6 side against which Liverpool did a double last season.

If records and form are anything to go by, then Arsenal fans have plenty to fret about.
