Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has told his players that fear is their “worst enemy”; in the title race.
The Gunners welcome Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday and can virtually knock the Reds out of the title race by opening a 14-point gap if they win.
Arteta’s team is looking to claim only their second win in 20 meetings, penalty shoot-outs excepted.
The Spaniard said: “To win those matches you really need to believe that you can compete against those teams.
“If you don’t have that component then you have fear – and fear is the worst enemy, especially against the top teams because this is what they use a lot of the time just to win football matches.
“You cannot go with any of that into Sunday’s game, the same as we when we played Spurs (in last Saturday’s 3-1 win).”;
