Arteta has an ace up his sleeve for Liverpool clash; Klopp trembles

Mikel Arteta has made a great start to the season with Arsenal that has left them as the sole leaders of the Premier League so far and this has not only got the fans excited, but also Arsene Wegner. The former Gunners boss, who was the last league-winning manager with the club, said a few weeks ago that "Arsenal have a good chance of winning the Premier League this season because there is no super-dominant team.

Ahead of Arsenal's tough clash with Liverpool to stay at the top of the Premier League, the Spanish manager referred to the club's idol's words and said: 'It's great that people who love the club so much and know it so well have that opinion about it. Now, unfortunately, we have to prove it, but we have to do it on the pitch and hopefully he's right. He was right on many occasions,' added the manager of the London club, who last Thursday secured a 3-0 win in the Europa League.

I think they are always looking to improve. You always hear about weaknesses that you want to improve. Liverpool are a great team,' he said.

It's a game that everyone is looking forward to against an opponent that showed in the last five or six years the level they are at. And we have to show those opponents again that we are capable of being at that level and that we are ready to compete against them. The Premier League leaders' manager spoke about the mental factor of Brazilian Gabriel Jesus: 'I love his mentality. It doesn't matter how much he plays, when he plays, what position he plays in, he always gives everything.

You notice his presence when he comes on the pitch, he makes the team different. He made an incredible play to create the third goal,' he added of the former Manchester City man's contribution to the Gunners.
