Ever since Mikel Arteta started his second summer round of bringing in new players to continue the rebuild of the Arsenal team from scratch, we started to hope that we were seeing the start of something big happening at the Emirates.
We introduced our new players gradually in preseason and saw the immediate improvement in results as we won our preseason games in style, culminating in the 4-0 win over Chelsea in America, and then the even more impressive 6-0 demolition of Sevilla in the Emirates Cup.
And so the season proper started with most of our new additions proving to be excellent buys, and we now have the envious record of having won 9 out of our 10 starts since the campaign began, and have stayed at the top of the League throughout.
There was a worry that Tottenham would give us a test but we passed it with flying colours, and now we face our biggest hurdle so far as we take on the mighty Liverpool tomorrow afternoon.
Mikel Arteta thinks this is the latest test to prove we can compete with the very best. “Again, it’s another really exciting game to play against one of the toughest opponents in this league.” the boss told Arsenal.com. “It’s going to be a really demanding match and it’s gonna require us to be at our best again,
“Every game is the same. Obviously, it’s a big match. It’s a fixture that everybody’s looking for, against an opponent that has shown in the last five or six years the level that they have. And we have to show those opponents again that we have reached the level and we are ready to compete against them.”
We can look forward to a brilliant game of wits and skill tomorrow. Klopp has already told us he knows how much we have improved this season, so he will be prepared as well.
I for one just can’t wait!

Where is Dan’s prediction for this week? I always look forward to it
You should see it at the top now…
If Partey is fit and in form for this game, we are home and dry.
Liverpool should be wary of our attacks
Klopp used a different tactic in Liverpool’s last game, so hopefully his players are still adapting to it
Our starting eleven is closer to the level I knew Pool played last season.
We are definitely playing consistently better than pool this season, but they are a sleeping giant.
There somthing off with them just now, ever since Mane left they haven’t seem the same but Klopp is aware and no doubt he will be working over time to jolt his misfiring engine.
But Pool could come alive on Sunday evening at the Emirate, I suspect the gaffer will be pump up to fight fire with fire if it comes to that.
Yes, the comparison to *last* season’s Liverpool is more aposite. This season they’re mid-table (although I expect them to up their game against us).
Wow!!! Let’s not get carried away. Liverpool have recently won the league and CL they have also been runners up in these tournaments. We have some way to go to be at that level. This team will get there but there’s time. Finishing in the top 4 and may be EL or FA Cup trophy will be a good season for us.
Just beat Liverpool and you have beaten MAN City.
