'Liverpool have impressed me more than Arsenal's Invincibles' - Petit admits Reds have 'something special'

Emmanuel Petit has admitted that he holds the current Liverpool squad in higher esteem than Arsenal's 'Invincibles', due to their unprecedented consistency over a longer period.

Liverpool are on the verge of winning a first league title in 30 years, having opened up a 25-point lead over reigning champions Manchester City with nine fixtures remaining.

Jurgen Klopp's men have only dropped points on two occasions, and were just five matches short of matching Arsenal's long-held 49-game unbeaten record before being beaten 3-0 by Watford on February 29.

The Reds finished the 2018-19 campaign on 97 points, but could end up in triple figures this time around, having built on the platform of Champions League success by establishing themselves as the dominant force in English football.
