Liverpool face a huge table match on Saturday night. Liverpool v West Ham United – Carabao Cup Quarter Final An excellent win on Wednesday sets the stage for Liverpool’s top-flight clash against Arsenal on Saturday night. The Reds beat West Ham 5-1 to reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. They next welcome Arsenal to Anfield in a battle for the top of the table. Liverpool are just one point behind the league leaders and a win on Saturday would take them back to the top. They were already racing there a few weeks ago, but the disappointment against Manchester United set them back. Virgil van Dijk has been tasked with leading the team as their new captain in this busy Championship season and he promises to do everything in his power to ensure Liverpool’s success. “[Arsenal] are very good, they are a very good team in every aspect,” van Dijk said of their opponents. “I think they are very good and we have to be very good at the weekend to win the game. But I like to look at my team and see what we can bring to the table and we have a lot to do and we can do it. too complicated for them. “I have a lot of respect for them. But I want to win the game and we will do everything we can and everything in my power to do that.” Jürgen Klopp will do his job for the Liverpool faithful at the newly expanded Anfield Stadium on Saturday, while van Dijk will do his. He asked the crowd to cheer up to add to his “twelfth man” advantage. “Arsenal haven’t played this week, they are preparing for this game and everyone who knows them knows they are ready,” Klopp said. “So we need Anfield from the first second without me having an argument with the opposing coach.” Anfield has seen historic wins against Arsenal over the years. Hopefully there will be another big thing to discuss on Saturday.
