'The Avengers have assembled again' - Ian Wright sends huge Liverpool warning to Arsenal

Ian Wright has warned Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side about the 'rebirth' of Liverpool following their huge 7-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday evening.

The win equalled United's biggest ever defeat and many now believe the Reds could string together a number of wins following the confidence boosting victory over their great rivals.

Liverpool's win has put them into fifth place in the Premier League as they now sit just three points behind Tottenham Hotspur in fourth. League leaders Arsenal have to visit Anfield in April.

After humiliating Erik ten Hag's side, who are third in the league, the former Arsenal striker likened Liverpool to 'The Avengers'.

“I saw Man City have got Southampton and someone else, I couldn’t quite see who it was,” said Wright on Premier League Productions. “Instantly, you are looking ‘they will win those two games’.

“Whereas, in that two-game run, Arsenal have got Liverpool away. This Liverpool, from what we have seen. This is the rebirth. The newborn. The (Avengers). They have assembled again.

“But this is what is exciting and why the Premier League is what it is. From now until the end of the season. We saw what Bournemouth did to a team that’s at the top of the league. You can’t call anything. You can’t.”
