Arsenal were warned by Liverpool that they could end up at Anfield where title dreams go to die.The

Key Highlights :

1. Arsenal are five points above second-place Manchester City and come against a Liverpool side struggling for form both home and away.

2. Arsenal have found it tough at Anfield in recent years, with their last win coming in 2012 when Arsene Wenger was still in charge 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.

3. 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.

4. 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”.

5. 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.

     Arsenal have been warned by a Liverpool legend ahead of their trip to Anfield on Sunday evening. Kenny Dalglish has warned his former side that they will have to be at their best if they are to take anything from the game. The Gunners are currently in third place in the Premier League table, but only a point behind Liverpool and Manchester United. Arsenal will be looking to put some distance between themselves and their rivals when they take on Liverpool at Anfield this weekend, but Dalglish is warning them that they have to be at their best if they are to win. "Arsenal are a very good side, but they have to be at their best if they want to beat Liverpool," Dalglish said. "Liverpool have a lot of quality and they will be looking to win the game. Arsenal have to be at their best if they want to do anything." Arsenal will be without their captain, Robin van Persie, who is out with a knee injury. However, the Gunners have a number of other players who are capable of producing a good performance. Dalglish is confident that Liverpool can win the game, but he is warning Arsenal that they will have to be at their best to do so.
