Dejan Lovren feels Liverpool can go through the season undefeated
The 2003-04 Arsenal squad remains the only squad to remain unbeaten for the entire season in the Premier League. And Dejan Lovren has urged his teammates to become the next ‘Invincibles’.
The Reds have enjoyed their best ever start to a top-flight season and Jurgen Klopp’s side are the only team to remain unbeaten after 17 games. Liverpool continued their impressive run with a 3-1 drubbing of Manchester United last week and they will be the favourites when they take on Wolves this Saturday.
“It (the United win) is a good result, I would say, for us,” the Croatian told reporters. “Hopefully we can be unbeaten until the end of the season.
“Of course it will be a challenge, but this is what we want. This is why we came here to Liverpool because we know we can do it. Arsenal did it before, so why not?”
However, in order for Liverpool to accomplish their goal, they’ll have to first get past Manchester City, who remain just one point behind the Reds.
Liverpool drew with Manchester City earlier in the season and the two sides will meet once again on the 3rd of January. When asked about City’s weaknesses, Lovren said, ” I’m not sure that they have any weaknesses. Last year they won by 19 points.”
Lovren further added, ” They know how to manage even when they lose. They lost one or two games last year. Still, they managed to be 19 points ahead.”
“It doesn’t mean anything. There are so many games in front of us and in front of them. It will be a tight race and it’s not only City. Tottenham are only a couple of points behind.
“You cannot sit and enjoy and say: ‘We are five or six points in front of everyone’. It doesn’t work like that. Every game, for us, is a final.
“Look, there’s a competition. This is what we want, but we don’t look at who is in front of us or behind us. It’s just about us.
