JURGEN KLOPP is not surprised in the slightest Unai Emery has stamped his authority on Arsenal so quickly.
Liverpool’s manager goes head-to-head with the Spaniard today at Anfield.
Arsenal travel to Merseyside and face a daunting task to stop Klopp’s Premier League leaders.
While the Gunners are short of defensive options due to injuries, they have been equally potent in attack.
Arsenal go into the game (5.30pm) sitting fifth and two points off the Champions League spots.
And strike duo Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette are expected to start.
Klopp is wary of the threat Arsenal pose, especially as they are one of only three teams to have not lost to Liverpool in the league this term.
Arsenal held the Reds to a 1-1 draw at the Emirates in the reverse fixture.
And ahead of today’s clash, Klopp has hailed his opposite number.
“Unai is one of the Europe’s top coaching talents,” Klopp wrote for Liverpool’s official matchday programme.
“And it is zero surprise to anyone who knows his quality that he has imposed himself so quickly on the club.
“The team already plays in a manner that reflects what he looks for: organised and adventurous, with quick, clever and skilful players all over the pitch.
“This is a team that can and will punish you if you drop even 0.01 per cent of your focus.
“Our game against them in London was exhausting to watch because of the pace of it and the intensity.
“They have proved they can strike back in big matches when they fall behind and they have proved they can dominate an opponent also.
“I know a number of their players, some better than others, and I know they are winners.
