Mikel Arteta wants Arsenal to keep their cool against Liverpool

Mikel Arteta wants to go into the weekend eight points clear of Manchester City.

The Gunners will be heading to Anfield after a 4-0 defeat early on in the 2022/23 season.

They have hold an eight-point advantage over title-holders Manchester City and are strong contenders to win the Premier League crown this season.

Mikel Arteta is worried about Arsenal’s poor record at Anfield and has urged his squad to stay in control of their emotions.

Despite Liverpool’s horrid form, tomorrow’s fixture will be a test of Arsenal’s credentials.

Arteta said: “I don’t know. I would have to be in the situation again. I reacted to defend our players the best possible way but I don’t like seeing myself like this so hopefully not.”

“Yeah. They know that. They experience that. We know what we have to do. We’ve played in the toughest places. We went to [Tottenham’s] White Hart Lane and did what the team did [winning 2-0], the atmosphere doesn’t get much tougher than that.

“They are a great team managed by a top manager and they create an incredible atmosphere that makes it very difficult for any opponent.”
