Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has warned Liverpool that their eight-point lead in the Premier League title race could easily disappear.
Reds boss Arne Slot last week warned his players not to get “carried away” after they beat Southampton 3-2.
Arteta has now reminded Liverpool that being front runners for almost a whole campaign is no guarantee of success.
Arsenal were top for 248 days of the 2022/2023 season and still lost out to Manchester City.
Arteta said: “We’ve been there and to sustain it for 10 months is extremely difficult – everything has to go your way.
“Just when you think you have it, plop! Everything collapses.
“Results can change through injuries, decisions and it can happen at any moment. You have to be ready for that but it’s something you can’t always control. All you can control is to do your very best.”
