'KLOPP DREADS ARTETA'

Arsenal fans all have same theory about Liverpool after watching match against Chelsea

ARSENAL fans all have the same conspiracy theory after seeing Liverpool's line-up for their clash with Chelsea.

Jurgen Klopp made six changes ahead of their battle against the Blues at Stamford Bridge - with Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil Van Dijk all absent.

The decision came after they were dismantled by Manchester City last Saturday.

And Arsenal supporters were convinced Jurgen Klopp was saving stars' legs for their home clash with the Gunners on Sunday - as he doesn't want them to win the league.

One fan wrote: “Klopp dreads Arteta. He lost to City on purpose. He rests his best for Arsenal. We will thrash them at Anfield.”

Whilst another added: “No way Klopp is resting Salah, Van Dijk & Trent for the Arsenal game”

One fan even suggested that an Arsenal win at the weekend would send the Liverpool boss’ career into decline.

They wrote: “He despises Arsenal. Legacy declining game for Klopp this weekend because his era looks worse with an Arsenal title.”

Jamie Carragher suggested that Klopp’s decision to rest so many key players was partly down to their poor performance against Man City.

He said: “What he has done since he came in is certain players play every game.

“Some of those don't tonight. Van Dijk possibly down to illness, Trent, Salah and Robertson are others.

“He has changed mainstays from years gone by. Is that due to City performance or three tough games in a week? A bit of both.

“The Etihad performance will be on his mind and he had to make changes.”

Liverpool host the high flying Gunners at the weekend and despite Arteta’s side being in electric form the Spaniard has never beaten Klopp at Anfield in the league.
