(Reuters) - Arsenal will need to be brave and at their very best if they are to snap their winless run at Anfield, manager Mikel Arteta said on Friday, as the Premier League leaders look to maintain their eight-point lead over Manchester City in the title race.
Arsenal have not won at Anfield in the Premier League since 2012, a game in which Arteta played. Since then they have suffered heavy defeats, including two 5-1 losses.
"We've been in a few grounds that we haven't won in 17, 22 years and we've managed to do that. So we're capable of doing it," Arteta told reporters ahead of Sunday's game. "We have to fully embrace it and go for it, it's a chance to go to Anfield and do something we haven't done for many years... It's a different group coming from a different position. What we need to have is courage - on Sunday we'll try to be that team."
