Liverpool boss Klopp: Arsenal have all my respect, wow! I'm excited about Martinelli

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is full of praise for Arsenal and their manager Mikel Arteta.

The Reds go to Arsenal on Sunday on the back of a Champions League win against Rangers.

"[They have] all my respect, wow!" said Klopp. "[It's a] really good job from Mikel Arteta. When you need time, nobody wants to give you it. I have to say, a lot of respect, [they have] a lot of talent... Gabriel Martinelli, I was excited about him early; Martin Odegaard, I spoke to him at 15 in Norway with his dad. Bukayo Saka...ooof.

"And Gabriel Jesus, Mikel could see how good he could be not in a Man City shirt.

"Thomas Partey, everyone saw how good he was at Atletico Madrid. [They have] lots of quality and are a young, exciting team doing really well. Now we go there and we don't think about [past results]."
