Liverpool’s run extended to 36 matches with the 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers last Sunday. 13 short of Arsenal’s incredible tally.

I haven’t heard one person talk about Liverpool getting near the 49 unbeaten of Arsenal. It’s never talked about, it’s odd. You look at it and think: ‘Who is going to beat them?,”

Backing Liverpool to match Arsenal’s tally, Merson also went on to say that he believes only Manchester City have a chance of beating the Reds this season.

If the Reds continue their unbeaten run, Manchester City will be our49th opponent in a mouth-watering tie for the neutrals.

Merson also went on to explain that this Liverpool side will make a case against Arsenal’s invincibles if we end the season unbeaten in the league. (h/t Sky Sports)

“If Liverpool do go unbeaten, it is a massive feat, and it will be a bigger achievement. Arsenal never had a Manchester City beside them, trying to avoid defeat against them twice in a season.”

“And, arguably, Chelsea’s team were probably better back then, Manchester United’s team was far better back then, Arsenal’s team was far better back then. This is a proper debate.”
