Brendan Rodgers has warned Arsenal of the growing expectations they will face as they continue to lead the Premier League title race.
Mikel Arteta will take his men to the King Power stadium on Saturday afternoon with a two point lead over Manchester City as they look to win their first title since 2004.
Former Liverpool boss Rodgers came close to winning the league in 2014, but City pipped the Reds to the post in the run in and the Northern Irishman has shared some of his experiences with the Gunners.

Rodgers was two points away from bringing the title to Anfield for the first time in 24 years and Arteta is facing a similar task with Arsenal.
"There's definitely a change in emotion, that's for sure," said Rodgers. "That's the key aspect of it and we're not really even at that stage yet. You see the excitement there with how Arsenal are playing and you sense the supporters feel they have an opportunity – which they do have.
"But it's really not until you get to 10 games to go and then five games to go. If they're still up there, which I believe they will be, then the expectation on everything and the emotion grows even more.
"If I look back on that it's really about trying to manage those aspects. Because when you haven't won the league for so long, then of course the closer it gets and the closer you are to it, naturally the supporters dream. So the expectation starts to grow even more."
