Arsenal defender Ben White believes his team's 3-2 victory over Liverpool is a clear indication of the progress being made by the north London club - and explained how manager Mikel Arteta prepared them for the big match.
The Gunners failed to win any of the four fixtures played between the sides last season, two of which were arrived at the Carabao Cup semi-final stage, and had only beaten Liverpool twice in the top flight since 2015. That all changed at the weekend, however, as Arteta's men returned to the top of the table having now won eight of their nine games played.
The Reds have set the standard alongside Manchester City in recent years but have failed to hit their usual heights so far this campaign, highlighted by the 14-point gap now separating Arsenal and Jurgen Klopp's side despite only being in the month of October.
