'It's a big one': Curtis Jones tells Arsenal exactly what Liverpool are aiming to do during Thursday's clash

Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has fired a warning to Arsenal ahead of their crucial Premier League clash on Thursday, emphasizing Liverpool's intent to secure all three points in a high-stakes battle at the Emirates Stadium.[1]



Speaking after Liverpool's frustrating 2-2 draw against Fulham on Sunday, Jones described the result as "hard to take." The Reds dominated possession in the first half but struggled to convert chances. At halftime, the team rallied with renewed heart, scoring twice to take the lead, only for Fulham to equalize late. "We came back with two goals and then they go and score a goal like that. It's hard to take," Jones said.[1]

Comparing it to their prior 0-0 stalemate with Leeds United, Jones noted this was a stronger performance overall but stressed the cost of dropping points. "If you're giving away a lead, especially at a time like this when we need all our points, it's always hard," he added. Despite the talent in the squad—"if I look left and right in the changing room, I always see the talent around"—it wasn't enough this time.[1]

Looking ahead, Jones hyped the Arsenal fixture: "It's a big one but all games are big... Arsenal is a huge, huge game; they are on a great run and obviously they are top of the league." Recalling Liverpool's earlier victory over the Gunners, he warned of revenge: "The first game they played against us, we obviously won, so they'll be trying to get revenge on us. We're going there with our heads high and we'll go and try to win."[1]

Entering the match on a nine-game unbeaten run, Liverpool under Arne Slot are determined to challenge Arsenal's title charge. Jones' comments underscore the Reds' resilience and ambition amid a grueling schedule.[1][3]
