Curtis Jones raises Arsenal fears with pre-match comments

After midfielder Curtis Jones had a great opportunity to show his footballing quality during the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup against West Ham, the Reds midfielder is looking forward to a possible lineup during the 18th Premier League matchday against Arsenal, sending a hint not only to his club, but also to the rival in turn, which Jürgen Klopp hopes to overcome and thus regain the leadership that he lost days ago. 

Jones' words were forceful to Sky Sports, pointing out that from his current position he only wishes to be able to play in any way, no matter if the competition is Carabo Cup, Europa League or Premier League, being his greatest desire to continue scoring more goals and helping his team to achieve the proposed objectives.    

It is evident that Jones came out motivated after scoring a couple of goals in the match against the Hammers, being in general terms one of the best players on the field and one of those who has attracted the attention of Klopp to repeat the starting lineup this weekend before Christmas, demonstrating that his current level is enough to fight for a place in the starting lineup in the face of the losses in the midfield.

Jones has not had any type of complication entering as a starter to replace the big reinforcements of the club in this tournament, playing an incredible role from an area of the field that had shown a deterioration due to the low level of Dominik Szoboszlai, Hungarian element that had no choice but to give an extra during his duel against the Hammers to not fall behind a Curtis Jones who participated from any area.    

Jones is favorite to start    

Given the masterful performance of the Reds against West Ham, coach Jürgen Klopp plans to have a very similar squad to that of the Carabao Cup, with Jones being placed on the left side of midfield, an area in which he had a lot of collective participation, highlighting above all the duo he could make with Darwin Nunez, who will surely surprise everyone by being placed as a winger on the same flank where Jones will be present.
