"It is, of course, a test. But we're facing Liverpool and we're really looking forward . I know these players, my squad, my team will be prepared to go and fight, to go with confidence but we know it's going to be difficult.Liverpool and Manchester City have dominated the Premier League for the past few seasons, but pacesetters Arsenal and third-placed United are threatening to break that duopoly.
"We are not talking about other clubs. We are talking about us and I think we are in a good direction. And with our philosophy, strategy and culture, we have to keep making progress."
