Liverpool: W-W-W-W-W<\/p>\n
Arsenal: L-W-D-W-W<\/p>\n
What have the managers said?<\/p>\n
Andoni Iraola (Liverpool): \u201cIt\u2019s still October; take one game at a time, and I always say the first reference is normally when we have played \u200cagainst each other once, halfway through the season, and then you can start looking at the standings.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we are in a position where we need to improve, keep getting better. Can fans dream? It\u2019s good if they have expectations and think we can win. But if you ask me, it is still early.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mikel Arteta (Arsenal): \u201cWe expect a big game on Sunday; we\u2019re looking forward to it for sure. It\u2019s been 14 years since we last won there, so it\u2019s time to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
What have the players said?<\/p>\n
Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool): \u201cIt\u2019s a night like this [against Chelsea] and the other night [Villarreal] \u2013 the fans definitely like what they\u2019re seeing and, of course, you feel that energy and it\u2019s great.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been feeling that energy for quite a while and when you then miss it a little bit, then to get it back is obviously very good. Results help, massively. We understand it as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Martin Odegaard (Arsenal): \u201cObviously, the way we played (against Fleetwood) was not on the level. We need to do much, much better than we did.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t feel sorry for ourselves. We need to move on; we have a big game at the weekend, so bouncing back is all we can do now.\u201d<\/p>\n
