Prior to this weekend’s Premier League match. Arsenal star Granit Xhaka has cautioned his team about the danger posed by upcoming opponents Liverpool.
When the Gunners visit Anfield, they’ll be hoping to extend their winning run because the league title could be on the line.
The north London team leads the league by eight points with one extra game played. But they are aware that any slip-up would allow rivals Manchester City to claim the title. If they win all of their remaining matches.
However, Mikel Arteta is completely focused on the factors that his team can manage.
Before the season ends, a few crucial games stick out. Including the encounter with City and the upcoming away trip to Liverpool. Anfield won’t be a simple place to visit. So Xhaka has cautioned his teammates that they must be prepared for the challenge on matchday.
“It does not matter how their season is going – they are always a dangerous team and, at Anfield, a very difficult team to play,” the former captain said at the weekend as reported by Football London.
“But we have confidence enough to win there as well. This is what we will try to do. That’s why we are going there so let’s see if we can bring the three points back.”

This level of confidence, which is not pride, has allowed the team to gradually climb the table. And subsequently became title contenders.
Liverpool away will be a match that could make champions out of those who fall short in such a hostile atmosphere. Or it could destroy them.
