Arsenal defender Cedric Soares has shared a bizarre tactic Mikel Arteta used to help his side prepare to face Liverpool away.
The two sides met at Anfield twice last season, the Reds won 4-0 in the Premier League meeting but only managed a draw in the home leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final. Arteta ensured his side were ready to face Liverpool by blasting 'You'll Never Walk Alone' through the speakers at their training ground.
"We work every week, of course you work a lot on the game, but you kind of work as well on the atmosphere sometimes," he told JOE.

"Anfield is a very known stadium here. It's always difficult to play there because of the quality, we know the fans will be helping their team.
"So Mikel tried to prepare for it as much as he could and his idea was to bring the speakers in and create a bit of chaos during training. So the players needed to adapt straight away.
"It's good also for the players to have something different in training and also for you to have this in your mind. They will be there, they will be loud, but we still need to do our job."
The pair meet for the first time this season in October when they face each other in the Premier League meeting at the Emirates. Liverpool will have to wait to host the Gunners, with the match at Anfield not taking place until the latter stages of the campaign.
Jurgen Klopp's side get their league season underway this weekend with an away trip to Fulham and will hope to start strong in a bid to rival Manchester City for the Premier League title once again.
Arteta's side face Crystal Palace away on Friday Night Football this week and will look to close in on a top four place this term after narrowly missing out to Tottenham last season.
