EPL: Unai Emery tips Liverpool to break Arsenal’s record
Wenger's 'Invincibles' and go through the Premier League season
unbeaten.
The Gunners travel to Anfield on Saturday evening, with Jurgen Klopp's
side six points clear at the top of the table and yet to taste defeat.
Liverpool have won their last eight league games since drawing 1-1 at
the Emirates Stadium on November 3.
Arsenal are the only club in the modern era to go through a league
season unbeaten, as Wenger's side claimed the title in 2004.
But Emery, who replaced Wenger last summer, feels Liverpool are
well-equipped to follow in their footsteps.
"At the moment they are doing it and they can do it," Emery replied
when asked if Klopp's side could go the Premier League campaign
unbeaten.
"They can do that because they are doing it at the moment. We played
against Liverpool three years ago with Sevilla in the final of the
Europa League and I look at this progress and they are a very good
example.
"The progression with Liverpool is clear. Three years ago, they were
out of the Champions League through the Premier League and through the
Europa League, because they lost against us (Sevilla).
"This progress is also one example for us, now, in our moment. But we
need to be very, very demanding of ourselves to do this step quickly
in our way. But we need also time and sometimes the patience is very
important for us."
