Liverpool face Arsenal without Jota as Slot prepares for toughest test yet
LIVERPOOL: Liverpool manager Arne Slot faces a crucial test this Sunday as his side heads to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal in a high-stakes Premier League clash.
However, Slot will be without the services of Diogo Jota, who suffered an abdominal injury in last weekend’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea. Jota, who has been instrumental in Liverpool’s strong start with four goals this season, will not recover in time for the match. Slot confirmed on Friday, “Jota definitely no (for Sunday).”
Liverpool currently lead the Premier League table with 21 points, one ahead of Manchester City, while Arsenal sit third with 17 points after a disappointing 2-0 loss to Bournemouth last week. This clash is expected to be Slot’s toughest encounter since taking charge, with Liverpool looking to maintain their position at the top while Arsenal aim to close the gap.
