JAKARTA - Arsnal has not won in Anfield for a long time against Liverpool. Manager Mikel Arteta targets Arsenal to break that bad record when they played a big match in the English Premier League, Sunday, December 4 in the morning WIB.

Arsenal want to break a record that lasts quite a long time. If that record is broken, Arsenal will maintain its position at the top of the Premier League standings.

Currently, Arsenal occupy the throne of the standings with points 39. But they are only one point ahead of Liverpool who are in second place.

Aston Villa, who are in third place, could actually win the top position first if they beat Sheffield United.

The reason is, Villa are also only one point behind with Arsenal. So if Liverpool or Arsenal win, the team will have the top.

When Arsenal visited Anfield's headquarters at the holiday festival match, Arteta hoped to meet the winning target.

Ya, The Gunners terakhir kali mengalahkan Liverpool pada 3 Maret 2012. Di laga 11 tahun lalu, Arsenal yang masih diperkuat Arteta menang 2-1.

"It's a game with a special atmosphere for both teams and high-intensity matches. Each of them is a strong opponent. We want to win this game and will do it," said Arteta.

"This is a big game from the top two teams in the league. We will try to maintain our position, but we have to play with intelligence in order to control the game," he said.

"We haven't been able to beat them for a long time. This is a good moment and we have the opportunity to repeat it," said Arteta again.

Arsenal lost the top position because Liverpool took it after being defeated by Aston Villa 1-0.

But they finally got up and reclaimed the position after a 2-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion.

Liverpool themselves fell to second place after drawing 0-0 against Manchester United in The Northwest Derby at Anfield.

Next, the Reds beat West Ham United 5-1 in the Carabao Cup. This is an important asset for Liverpool when they play the next 'big six' member, Arsenal.
