Liverpool have had a rough start to the season, winning only twice in the league thus far, leaving them 11 points behind Mikel Arteta’s club, despite having a game in hand on Arsenal.

What has Jurgen Klopp said about Mohamed Salah?

Meanwhile, Salah, who was joint-top scorer in the Premier League last season, has only scored two goals in the league this season, but Klopp believes the Egypt striker is returning to form.

Klopp said, “With Mo, I hope it’s like us, we are close to exploding”. “Even when his goalscoring numbers aren’t crazy, his goal involvements are good”.

“His passing is good. Nobody can cope with the [Erling] Haaland situation, it’s crazy what he’s doing. Exceptional player in an exceptional team and we shouldn’t compare anyone with that”. “Mo wants to score goals desperately. Call him in 20 years, it will be the same”.

Klopp has expected a difficult afternoon in the capital on Sunday against an Arsenal team that has only lost once this season, a run of results that has them behind champions Manchester City by a point.

Klopp further added, “Arsenal was always there, City was always there with Manuel Pellegrini when I first arrived, I think”. “Their football is now better, quicker, more intense”.

“If you are a top manager, you arrive here pretty much in a year. Top-class managers all round makes it more difficult. “I’m pretty sure arsenal fans are pretty happy with situation they now find themselves”.

Salah, earned his third Golden Boot trophy last season but has only scored twice for Liverpool this season. Haaland has now scored 19 goals for the champions at the Etihad, 14 of which have come in the league.

The German ditched his tried-and-true 4-3-3 system against Rangers in favour of a 4-2-3-1, with Salah on the right of an attacking three that includes Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, and Darwin Nunez as the focal point.

Despite Liverpool’s comfortable 2-0 victory, it remains to be seen if Klopp will stick with his new aggressive formation when the Reds travel to North London to play league leaders Arsenal on Sunday.
