Doctor Wenger expecting Liverpool stars to recover for Arsenal clash

Arsenal and Liverpool will face off in the Premier League on Wednesday night and Gunners manager Arsene Wenger is expecting a very different Reds side than the one that played in the FA Cup tie against Exeter City.

The Merseysiders' squad has been severely hampered by injuries and Jurgen Klopp was forced to play a very young and an inexperienced side in the 2-2 draw but Wenger believes the upcoming game against his team will heal many of the injured Reds stars.

When asked if some of the senior Liverpool players will return on Wednesday, he said: "Yes, don't worry, Arsene is a very good doctor - they always heal when they play against us!

"The team who played on Friday night is not the team who will play against us. They had many injures and I think they didn't want more injuries before an important week."

Arsenal currently sit top of the Premier League table whereas Liverpool occupy eighth ahead of the Anfield fixture on Wednesday.
