Liverpool want to finish the season unbeaten and match Arsenal’s Invincibles. That is the view of beIN SPORTS pundit Andy Gray. At the start of the weekend’s play, Jurgen Klopp’s men were unbeaten in their last 31 matches.
When shown a graphic of the longest Premier League unbeaten runs, Gray said on beIN SPORTS: “It’s an extraordinary record Arsenal.
“I think their [Liverpool] eyes are on one thing, equalling the Invincibles.”
Jermaine Pennant, who scored a hat-trick for Arsenal against Southampton in the first game of their run, said Liverpool are "well equipped" to win the title without losing.
“For Liverpool to only lose once last season and not win the league; that was unheard of and will never be replicated again," Pennant told 888 Sport.

"This season they are more prepared and have more experience of being in that situation and that is showing through now.
"They’re picking up late goals where last season they were holding out for the draw.
“They’re learning from past experience.
"They are better equipped this season to go unbeaten and have all the fundamentals there to go one better than last season.”
Pennant also hailed winger Sadio Mane and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who have enjoyed excellent seasons for the Reds.
“You have to go on form and although Salah has been top goal-scorer for the past two seasons, Mane has started off on fire, not just with goals but assists," Pennant said.
"His work-rate is phenomenal and that shows what kind of character he is: when you’re the top goal-scorer and you work as hard as he does that speaks volumes in itself.
“Trent is the perfect modern full-back and what helps is that Liverpool play with a formation where they don’t have to play with wingers. They compact that midfield and when Trent goes forward he has the ability of a winger who puts the balls in, like I used to do.
"He is basically doing my job while also defending. They have only conceded 11 goals so he can defend while also going forward. If you look at all the great teams now their full-backs are like Trent.”
