Arsenal legend Martin Keown believes that Liverpool are posing a big threat to the Gunners’ ‘Invincible’ record.
The current pundit has hailed Jurgen Klopp’s side for their winning mentality and believes there’s every chance that they could go the entire league campaign without tasting defeat.
The Reds have won every Premier League match so far this season and will look to continue that record this Sunday against Manchester United.
As quoted on Football London, Keown said:
I’d have to say they are [the biggest threat to Arsenal’s Invincibles’ record]. This is a winning machine. City set the standards the last two seasons, nearly 200 points in two seasons – they know now that you live like champions.
Nothing else matters but winning, and they go out and they do it. It’s going to be difficult for them. I think they play Man City, now, in the early part of November, and there are just two or three games between then.
If they beat City, they’re eight points clear already, that’s massive. They’re setting huge standards, here, Liverpool.
Can Liverpool actually go the entire season without a league defeat?
READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
As Keown rightly pointed out, it will be very difficult, but it is possible. They’ve learned how to win the hard way, as shown through the victories over Sheffield United and Leicester City in recent weeks.
However, it is far too early to even consider that as a Liverpool fan. The best thing for Klopp and Liverpool to do is focus on each match as it comes because every match is a huge challenge in the Premier League.
There were similar claims by pundits and fans regarding Manchester City over the last two seasons, but they were extremely premature, just like this is.
