'Still one of the best' - Fabinho sends blunt Liverpool warning ahead of Arsenal clash

Liverpool star Fabinho was warned they are 'still one of the best teams in the league' ahead of Sunday's clash against Arsenal.

The Reds have had a mixed start to the season and currently sit ninth in the table with 10 points from a possible 21 so far. They suffered defeat to Manchester United back in August and only managed draws against Fulham, Crystal Palace, Everton and Brighton.

Jurgen Klopp 's side put in a much-improved display against Rangers in the Champions League midweek with a 2-0 victory at Anfield and Fabinho believes Sunday's meeting at the Emirates is another opportunity to get back on track.

“(The) Emirates is a nice place to play and Arsenal, of course, are in a really good moment right now, playing really well, winning their games, top of the league,” he told Liverpoolfc.com. “It’s a good opportunity for us as well to show that we are Liverpool, we are still one of the best teams in this league. So yes, it’s a good opportunity for us to get the three points and to close the gap on these teams as well.

“This is a winning team. The last season was really good, we played all the competitions until the end to win the four (and) we won two. This shows what this team is capable of doing.

“Of course, as I said before, this moment is not good and it’s not easy when we know you can do better, you can play better, you can win more and more games. So yes, we just have to keep focused, keep concentrating, try our best to turn this situation.”

Arsenal have had a positive start to the 2022/23 season and currently sit top of the table, albeit possibly temporarily as Manchester City are in action Saturday afternoon against Southampton. They've lost just one game this term against United, but have won seven games so far in the league.
