Lovren says Liverpool can match Arsenal's 'Invincibles'
Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren says the
Premier League leaders can go through the whole season unbeaten, matching the
achievement of Arsenal's 'Invincibles' in 2003/04.
Jurgen Klopp's side are one point
clear of defending champions Manchester City after 14 wins and three draws from
17 games.
"Hopefully we can be unbeaten
until the end of the season," said Lovren, buoyed by Sunday's victory over
arch-rivals Manchester United.
"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. Arsenal did it before so why not?"
Liverpool have not won the English
top-flight since 1990 but could extend their lead over Pep Guardiola's City to
four points with a win at Wolves on Friday.
Lovren knows their title rivals have
few weaknesses and the outcome of the season will most likely come down to who
makes the fewest mistakes.
"I'm not sure that they have any
weaknesses," he added.
"Last year they won by 19 points. They know how to manage even when they lose. They also lost one or two games last year and still they managed to be 19 points ahead."
