Ian Wright points out three Arsenal stars who may be a problem for Liverpool
Ian Wright has named the Arsenal players that Liverpool must keep an eye on when the two teams meet this weekend.
The Reds return to Premier League action on Saturday after the year’s final international break.
Jurgen Klopp’s side will be hoping to get back to winning ways after losing to West Ham before the break.
Liverpool are currently in fourth place, with Arsenal just two points behind in fifth heading into Saturday’s match at Anfield.
Wright, speaking on the Kelly and Wrighty Show on YouTube, singled out several players for crediting Arsenal’s recent resurgence.
The Gunners legend praised Gabriel Magalhaes and Ben White, as well as goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
“I love the fact even with Benjamin White when he’s coming out and he said: ‘I don’t watch much football, I just play football’,” said Wright.
“I love the fact that he’s brave enough and strong enough to admit that because he can deal with what comes with that.
“But when you look at his performances next to Gabriel, it’s very solid with the goalkeeper. It’s a very good team, those three are very solid.
“They’re footballing centre-halves – into Thomas Partey, into [Albert] Sambi Lokonga.”
Wright continued: “Now Arsenal are looking like, with the structure and the way the team is playing, you can see if it has to go long they’ll do that, but if a defender has to run it into the midfield and then go from there, we saw Ben White setting up Emile Smith Rowe’s goal the other day.
“So we’re looking at a team now with a lot of confidence.”
