Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said he wants to end the Anfield hoodoo, targeting a win against Liverpool on Sunday that would keep the Gunners on course to win the Premier League title.
Arteta's side lead Manchester City by eight points at the top of the table ahead of the weekend fixtures, with Pep Guardiola's team taking on bottom-of-the-table Southampton on Saturday.
Anfield poses a major challenge for Arsenal as they have not won a league game there since Arteta played in a 2-0 win in 2012.
Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool have won the past six league meetings between the sides at home by a combined score of 22-4. But Liverpool are currently in eighth place in the table, 29 points behind the Gunners. "We have to enjoy it," Arteta said on Friday. "We really need to embrace the moment and go for it. "The team is really full of enthusiasm and positivity and we know we have a big challenge but a big opportunity to go to Anfield and do something we haven't done for many years.
