Jurgen Klopp is optimistic about Arsenal’s chances of securing a victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on May 11, following his Liverpool team’s 2-2 draw with United. Despite Liverpool’s dominant performance in the first half and their late equalizer, Klopp believes that Arsenal, who have been performing impressively, should be able to secure a win if United plays as they did in the match against Liverpool.
In the post-match interview, Klopp expressed regret over Liverpool’s failure to secure a win against United, acknowledging that they had missed opportunities in both the league and FA Cup matches. Despite dominating the matches, they were unable to secure victories, leaving Klopp satisfied with their current position in the table but acknowledging the challenging nature of the competition until the end of the season.
The draw at Old Trafford for Liverpool comes after their previous defeat to United in the FA Cup quarter-final, with captain Virgil van Dijk expressing frustration over missed opportunities and defensive mistakes. He highlighted the disappointment at failing to secure a win and acknowledged the need to make up for it in the upcoming matches.
The draw has placed Arsenal ahead of Liverpool at the top of the table on goal difference. Both teams have upcoming fixtures next weekend, with Arsenal playing against Luton Town and Liverpool facing Crystal Palace.
