Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has claimed that the Reds can match the invincible Arsenal side by going unbeaten for an entire Premier League season.
Arsenal went unbeaten for an entire campaign back in 2004, and the Dutch international admitted it was a real possibility that his side could do the same under Jurgen Klopp this year.
Wijnaldum thanked hard work and a handful of luck for Liverpool’s progression in the past couple of seasons, sharing that his teammates are taking it game by game and don’t think about Arsenal’s campaign that year.
“It is possible,” he told the Mirror.
“Nobody knows how it’s going to be. We have had some luck up to now, but we have also put a lot of hard work in.”
“We don’t think about the fact that Arsenal did not lose in that season. We just try to give everything in every game.”
OPINION
To go an entire Premier League season unbeaten is one of the hardest things a team could do, and that’s why it has only ever been done once. Why can’t Liverpool do it though? They have been phenomenal for the past couple of seasons, and came desperately close last year, losing only one game as they finished second somehow. Their form is pointing in all the right directions to see them continue this run. The Reds have only lost one of their previous 47 Premier League games, and are in the best form they could ever be in at this moment. Klopp’s side have won their last 17 games in the top-flight as well and would match the record for consecutive wins by picking up all three points against Manchester United on Sunday at Old Trafford. All of the signs are pointing in the right direction for Liverpool, who wouldn’t care if they didn’t go unbeaten, as long as they win their first-ever Premier League title – as the phrase goes, they will be taking it one game at a time.
