'You never know' - Oleksandr Zinchenko makes Anfield admission ahead of Liverpool vs Arsenal

Oleksandr Zinchenko has highlighted how dangerous Liverpool can be when playing at Anfield ahead of their crucial Premier League clash with Arsenal.

The Gunners have the chance to move eight points clear of Manchester City in the title race with victory this afternoon. However, the table-toppers have not recorded a league win at Anfield since 2012.

Arsenal are being heavily tipped to finally end that drought with Liverpool languishing in eighth place and winless in their last three league matches.

But despite their struggles this season, the Reds have already beaten reigning champions Man City at Anfield and thrashed Manchester United 7-0 in their last game on home soil.

And left-back Zinchenko told Arsenal's official website: "Everyone knows how dangerous Liverpool are, they’re an amazing team so it doesn’t matter where they are in the table.

"Every single game against them is a massive game, especially at Anfield as it is a special place where you never know what’s going to happen.”

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has also spoken about the atmosphere he expects to encounter later today. He said: "You cannot train the players in the zoo and then go to the jungle on Sunday.

“It’s impossible. You have to expose yourself. You have to prepare the players. You have to tell them what they’re going to be facing and you have to recognise that.”
