Throughout his career, Mbappe hasn't been shy about his high regard for Liverpool, particularly during their dominant period.

The guys are focused, they play games every three days and they win, they win, they win.

"Now the problem is that everybody watches Liverpool, and everybody watches what we can do against them, so now they have to show they are strong again but it's a very good team with a very good manager."

Arsenal have this season been hit with long-term injuries to key players such as Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, and Bukayo Saka, curtailing their title challenge.
