Arne Slot faces Jurgen Klopp’s nightmare situation to worry Liverpool star Ibrahima Konate

Liverpool face Arsenal on Sunday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium (4:30 p.m.) in the latest Premier League challenge for head coach Arne Slot.

Anthony Taylor will be in the middle as Liverpool meet Premier League title rivals Arsenal on Sunday, looking to extend their lead at the top of the English top flight. Arne Slot’s side head into this encounter having ensured there were no hangovers during the international break thanks to wins over Chelsea and RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

During those eventful encounters, the Reds endured some tricky tests, beating the west Londoners at Anfield, before Darwin Nunez’s first-half goal was enough to help Liverpool collect maximum points in Germany Wednesday.

The tough encounters continue with a trip to north London this Sunday as they take on Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Taylor has officiated in more Liverpool matches than any other club – including twice this season – with the Reds winning 34 of the 62 games managed by the Manchester-born official.

The 46-year-old was in the middle during last season’s 3-1 defeat at the Emirates Stadium – for Liverpool – as Jurgen Klopp’s side were on the wrong end of that title showdown. Of the 50 Arsenal matches that Taylor has been the referee for, the Gunners have only lost eight times – winning 30 and drawing 12.
