Jurgen Klopp gives Liverpool hint for Arsenal clash amid Zinchenko and Martinelli fears

Jurgen Klopp has hinted that he could use a 4-2-3-1 formation when Liverpool visit Arsenal on Sunday afternoon. Klopp has almost exclusively used 4-3-3 during his time at Liverpool, but Mikel Arteta may have to prepare his side to face a different shape.

Liverpool used a 4-2-3-1 system in their 2-0 win over Rangers in the Champions League on Tuesday night, with Klopp happy with how his side performed in the shape. Now that he's used it in Europe, Klopp has hinted that he may try out the formation in Premier League action against Arsenal.

The Reds boss confirmed that the formation change wasn't down to Rangers' strengths or weaknesses, with Klopp trying something different due to the recent poor results and performances. "It [the formation change) was actually nothing to do with the game," he said, via the Liverpool Echo.
