The Gunners regrouped in the summer following a collapse, sparked by throwing away a two-goal lead at Anfield, that cost them the title and invested heavily in their squad.
Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and David Raya represented the headline purchases and all three have helped Mikel Arteta’s new-look side back to the summit.
Although they are in effect seven points worse off than they were at the same stage last term, Klopp believes this current incarnation of Arteta’s Arsenal represent even more formidable opposition.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, the Liverpool manager said: ‘We play a super strong team. A team that played an exceptional season last season and came back even better than last season.
‘They bring in top players, were already a top team, brought in top players that improve the team.
‘They went through in the Champions League pretty easily and play a really good Premier League campaign.
