Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has claimed that the Reds are aiming to remain unbeaten throughout their Premier League campaign.
The only team that has managed this so far is Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal of the 2003/2004 season.
Liverpool are top of the table with no defeats so far after 17 games.
“Arsenal did it before so why not?” Lovren said when asked if the Merseyside club could match Arsenal’s feat

“[Beating Man Utd] was a good result I would say for us. Hopefully we can be unbeaten until the end of the season.
“Of course it will be a challenge but this is what we want, this is why we came here to Liverpool, because we know we can do it.”
While Manchester City romped to the title last season, Lovren doesn’t feel the Citizens could do it again, stating that Liverpool and even Tottenham are in the mix for Premier League glory
“I’m not sure that [Manchester City] have any weaknesses. Last year they won with 19 points. They know how to manage themselves even when they lose. They also lost one or two games last year. Still they managed to be 19 points ahead,” he said.
“It doesn’t mean anything [this season].There are so many games in front of us and in front of them. It will be a tight race and it’s not only City. Tottenham is only a couple of points behind.
“You cannot sit and enjoy and say: ‘We have five or six points in front of everyone’. It doesn’t work like that. Every game for us is a final.”
