Mikel Arteta has told Arsenal's front runners to take down Liverpool, warning fear is their “worst enemy” in the title race.
The Gunners can virtually knock the Kop out of the title race by opening a 14-point gap if they win their headline duel at the Emirates on Sunday. Arteta says his team must be intrepid to claim only their second win in 20 meetings with the plummeting Liver bird, penalty shoot-outs excepted.
And even Arsenal's only joy against Jurgen Klopp, two years ago, came after Liverpool had wrapped up their runaway title triumph. Barely a year after some fans were calling for him to be sacked, Arteta now has the highest win ratio (58.41 per cent) of any manager in the club's history.
