Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has challenged his players to end the club’s long wait for a Premier League victory at Anfield when they face Liverpool in one of the weekend’s biggest fixtures.
The Gunners have not won a Premier League match away to Liverpool at Anfield in 14 years, making Saturday’s encounter a major opportunity to change that record.
For Arteta, the challenge is not just about collecting three points. It is also about proving that his team can handle the pressure of one of English football’s most difficult away grounds.
Liverpool will have their own ambitions, and the atmosphere at Anfield is expected to make the contest even more demanding.
Matches between these two clubs have often produced drama, goals and memorable moments, and supporters will be hoping for another exciting encounter.
Arsenal know that ending the Anfield wait would be a significant statement in their campaign. But they will have to deliver a disciplined performance against a Liverpool side determined to protect its home advantage.
