Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted he would rather Liverpool did not avoid defeat for the remainder of the Premier League season, in order to preserve his unique record.
The Frenchman led the Gunners to the 2003/04 Premier League title without a single defeat in 38 matches, as part of a league record of 49 matches without defeat.
However, Jurgen Klopp's side could beat both those records in the coming months as they storm towards a first league title in 30 years - which would strip Wenger of being able to boast a unique record.
As such, he has admitted he would like to see them slip up in the final months of the campaign - but added that he will congratulate them if that doesn't happen and praised their 'remarkable consistency'.
"It's possible, it might happen. I do not necessarily want it, you want to always be the only one to do something special," he admitted to BeIN Sports.
"But if they do it, I'll say well done. Records are there to be equalled, at least, or beaten. If they deserve it, you want it.
"They have been exceptional really because they lost only one game last season, they have not lost one this year, so it's a remarkable consistency that they have showed and they deserve to be there."
