(Reuters) - Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is preparing his players to take their Premier League title charge to the Anfield 'jungle' as they look to end a marathon winless run at the home of Liverpool.

Arsenal have not won at Anfield in the Premier League since their 2-0 victory in the 2012-13 season - a game in which Arteta himself played for the north London club. Since then they have suffered heavy defeats, including two 5-1 losses. "You cannot train the players in the zoo and then go to the jungle on Sunday," Arteta told reporters on Friday.
Despite Liverpool's inconsistent form this season, which has kept them eighth in the league standings, the Merseyside club still have an excellent record at home - Leeds United are the only side to beat them there so far in the league.
