Arsenal Warned: 'Anfield Can Be Where Title Dreams Go To Die'

Arsenal Warned: 'Anfield Can Be Where Title Dreams Go To Die'

Premier League leaders Arsenal have been sent a warning by a Liverpool legend ahead of their trip to Anfield on Sunday evening.

The Gunners sit five points above second-place Manchester City on the table and come against a Liverpool side struggling for form both home and away.

Arsenal have found it tough at Anfield in recent years, with their last win coming in 2012 when Arsene Wenger was still in charges and Jamie Carragher has warned the league leaders about Anfield 

"Anfield can be where title dreams go to die. Sir Alex Ferguson and my Sky colleague Gary Neville freely admit that they saw Anfield visits as the truest test of their capacity to win the championship," Carragher told the Telegraph.

"Manchester United famously lost the league on Merseyside when trying to end their long wait for the title in 1992, but made amends over the next two decades. A 3-1 United win in April, 1997, when both clubs were still in title contention, stands out. 

"Jose Mourinho's 1-0 success at Anfield in 2005 en route to his first Chelsea title prompted him to acclaim a win 'champions need to have in crucial moments'.

"For others, Anfield was the moment dreams died. Newcastle United's players believe the famous 4-3 defeat in 1996 was the evening they lost the Premier League.

"There is no doubt there will be a Klopp reaction before next season, and Arsenal's current dominance over Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea will be challenged. That makes it more important for Arsenal to kick Liverpool while they are down and deliver a performance worthy of champions."
