Can Mikel Arteta finally break Anfield's spell? That is the million-dollar question ahead of the Gunners' trip to Liverpool, with Arsenal chasing a first Premier League win at the ground since September 2012.The opportunity is significant. Manchester City's defeat to Brighton means Arsenal will return to the top of the table if they avoid defeat. Still, history offers little encouragement: they have failed to win any of their last 13 league visits to Anfield.##NAJAVA_MECA_10075977##Arteta has tried almost everything to prepare his team for the challenge. Five years ago, he even played Liverpool's anthem, You'll Never Walk Alone, over loudspeakers at Arsenal's training ground. It did little good, as the Gunners were beaten 4-0. In 2023, Granit Xhaka's confrontation with Trent Alexander-Arnold helped ignite Liverpool's comeback from two goals down to draw 2-2.Arteta insists those days are behind his team, but knows another special performance will be required."After the cup, the only thing I want is to win at Anfield. Nothing changes. You have to get over the defeat, but the objective remains the same," he said, stressing that Arsenal must take the final step after coming close on previous visits.Verbruggen walls off the Etihad!
